Before moving to US, we lived for about 2 years in Hyderabad<\/a>, India. The capital city of my home state, Andhra Pradesh<\/a>, lately known as Hi-Tech city<\/a>, Hyderabad, has its own unique cuisine. A mishmash, a culinary amalgam influenced by people who migrated to this city from small villages, towns all over Andhra<\/a> and from out of states on jobs, business and to work in political bureaucracy. Foodwise, you can get everything and anything there, almost:). Strong personalities and strong flavors are needed to survive in that city. <\/p>\n

One such bold flavored recipe that I learned from a Hyderabad native, is this mango~sesame curry. Unripe mangoes are cooked in jaggery<\/a> flavored sesame sauce. 3 strong flavors, unbeatable taste, perfect side dish for subtly bland naans\/chapatis and puris.<\/p>\n

\"Jaggery,
\nJaggery, Roasted Sesame Seeds, Unripe Mango ~ Three Strong Flavors<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n

Recipe:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 green, unripe mangoes – peeled, seed removed and cubed into bite sized pieces<\/small>
\n1 cup sesame seeds – lightly roasted and powdered
\n¼ cup of jaggery<\/a> – powdered
\n1 teaspoon of each – red chilli powder, salt and turmeric
\nFor popu or tadka<\/em><\/u>:
\n1 teaspoon of peanut oil
\n½ teaspoon of each mustard seeds, cumin and few curry leaves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1<\/strong><\/font> Heat peanut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add and toast cumin, mustard seeds, curry leaves.<\/p>\n

2<\/strong><\/font> Add mango cubes to the pan, stir in sesame powder, jaggery<\/a>, chilli powder, salt and turmeric. Add about 2 cups of water and mix thoroughly. <\/p>\n

3<\/strong><\/font> Cover with lid and cook on medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the mango pieces soften and the sesame sauce comes together into medium-thick mass. Have a taste and adjust the salt, sweet, spicy levels to your taste. Cook for another couple of minutes and turn off the heat.<\/p>\n

Serve warm with chapatis\/naans or with puris and enjoy this unique curry of zinging taste. <\/p>\n
