Hi everyone,
My mum bought a Waitrose Prawn Mango Masala at Christmas and i really quite liked it (<3 mango), so i decided to try and recreate it. I dont think ive done too bad a job. Ive cooked it twice. The first time i think i put too much fenugreek in, as there was a bitter taste. I reduced the amount the 2nd time i cooked it and i feel the balance is ok now. I would love for fellow curry lovers to try and and give some feed back about how to improve the recipe. The recipe is for a prawn version but you can obviously change that to a more preferred meat or vegetable. So here it is:
2 yellow onions
2-3 garlic cloves
thumb sized piece of ginger
approx 1 1/2 tablespoons of tomato puree
1/2 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon of mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon or more of chilli powder
5 -10 curry leaves
1 green chilli chopped in half (remove seeds if preferred)
approx 400g's mango puree mango (or 1 tin)
splash of single cream
If using fresh mangos, peel and dice and blend in the food processor until smooth and put aside in a bowl.
Whizz garlic, ginger and onion in food processor until a paste and put in a bowl to one side also.
Heat oil and fry curry leaves, fenugreek, mustard seeds, chilli powder and green chilli for a few minutes and then throw in tomato puree and let cook for a minute or two. Throw in the onion/garlic/ginger paste and cook until it darkens.
Add tinned tomatoes and water if needed and let simmer for approx 10 mins.
Add the mango puree and a splash of cream and simmer for another 10 mins.
Add prawns and season to taste.
Add chopped coriander and serve with rice.
