Today I have brought you a famous dish in Sri Lanka, SPICY MANGO CURRY .

Now let's see how to make this mouth watering SPICY MANGO CURRY

First you have to cut the mangoes. This is the hardest part because it's really tough to cut the mangoes in to pieces while the seed remains inside. Once you have cut it into the pieces wash them well.

Next keep a clay pot on the hearth. As I said today I'm using our traditional way of cooking. Instead of cooking this in gas cooker I use the hearth. And even cooking in a clay pot is also is a secret behind our delicious food.

Once the pot is heated I add some oil and let it heat up for 1min. Then I add all the spices, curry powders, chilli powder, turmeric, garlic, onion, green chillies, curry leaves and rampe in to the pot. Then stir it well till the onions turns little golden brown.

After that add the man go pieces and half cup of water in to the pot and mix them well. Now close the pot and let the mangoes cook well for 3mins.

Hope you all enjoyed my recipe and I would like to invite you all to try this at home and share your experience. I know that cooking at hearth is kind of difficult because we have to always keep on blowing to maintain the flames and when the smoke fill around it is irritating to the eyes. However the taste of these dishes is unbelievable.

While concluding my participation, I would like to invite @kusal, @besticofinder & @dilums to participate in this competition and share their culinary ideas

Thank You
