Topic: (meat or vegetable) Mango Masala recipe - please try!

[Masalarama]

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.

In your ingredients list, there is no tinned tomatoes, but your method tells to add tinned tomatoes. Which quantity of tinned tomatoes has to be used?

How much prawns or meat do you add? How many portions provides your recipe?

I look forward to trying it, because my wife and I love mango.

Sorry! yes, its 1 tin (400g) of chopped tomatoes. I usually prod them with a spatula once theyre in the pan to make it a little smoother and we used 300g's of prawns for 3 of us. The recipe should feed 4 quite well though.
