Curried Mango

Directions

1. 1
   Prepare a small pot of water and place on open stove.
2. 2
   Cut up the mangoes into pieces and discard the seeds.
3. 3
   Once water is boiling, place the mango pieces into the pot and boil for 20 minutes or so.
4. 4
   This will soften the fruit a tad and remove some of the acidity as well.
5. 5
   Remove the mangoes from the water and keep them to the side.
6. 6
   In a small bowl, put the biriyani seasoning and curry and just a enough water to make a paste equivalent to the consistency of toothpaste.
7. 7
   Place to the side.
8. 8
   On medium fire, heat up the oil in a saucepan.
9. 9
   Add the onion and garlic.
10. 10
    Saute just till soft.
11. 11
    Add the seasoning paste and saute for around 2 minutes.
12. 12
    Add the pieces of mangoes and mix well to be sure that they are well covered by seasoning and oil.
13. 13
    For extra spice you can add a little hot pepper sauce.
14. 14
    You may also want to add a little sugar to sweeten it a tad.
15. 15
    Add a little water (perhaps a 1/4 cup) but not too much because as it cooks, the mango will release water of its own.
16. 16
    Cover and cook for approximately 10 minutes.
17. 17
    Serve as a side to any Indian dish or eat with pita bread or crackers as a snack.
