Mangai Moru Sambar | Mango Curd Curry | How to make Mangai Moru Sambar| Step by Step pictures

                         

Hi Supermoms,

The Mangai Moru Sambar is a tasty,tangy and a delicious curry that is a perfect accompaniment for rice,rotis and also Dosas/ savoury pancakes.

 It is different from the regular sambar recipe that makes it extra special and tasty. Liked by all at my place,this recipe is a 'Must Try' especially when raw mangoes are available or in season!

Raw mango is hailed for it's cooling properties,so it is all the more important to add it in our regular diet.

CHEF TIP:

1. If you do not have fresh coconut, you can use 2 spoons of coconut milk powder. Add the milk powder to hot water,mix well before you add it to the sambar.

2. Whisk the curd before you add it to the sambar.

3 .Adjust the salt according to the sourness of mango.

HAPPY COOKING!

With love,
