directions

  • For the Relish: First you will want to peel your mango and then cut off the flesh from the pit.
  • Place the mango in a bowl, and process it with a food processor, or simply mash it with a hand masher, whatever you choose to do.
  • Mix in the rest of the ingredients and set aside.
  • For the curry: In a clean food processor bowl, place the garlic, ginger, chiles and 3 tablespoons of water, and process until smooth.
  • Next, heat your oil in a large saucepan, and add the whole coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds, allowing for the flavors to release a bit.
  • Then add the ground cumin, the ground cardamom seeds, and turmeric and cook for about a minute or so.
  • Then add the garlic paste that you made in the processor, along with the tomatoes and remaining water.
  • Stir to mix well, and then add the mushrooms, okra, and garbanzo beans.
  • Stir again, and then bring to a boil.
  • Reduce your heat and then cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and turn your heat up slightly and cook for about 8-10 more minutes (maybe less depending on your okra), until the okra is tender but not too soft (you dont want mushy okra).
  • Remove from heat and add your chopped cilantro, stirring lightly.
  • Serve with your mango relish and rice (I like it with basmati).

  1. A delicious and healthy dish which we enjoyed very much, and a great introduction to okra. The Chile-Mango Relish was a delicious accompaniment. The instructions are clear, and it is not difficult to prepare, so don't be put off by the long list of ingredients. Thanks for posting love!
