Mango Fish Curry

Description

Mango Fish Curry is a traditional Kerala-style seafood dish where fresh fish is simmered in a tangy gravy made from raw mango, coconut, and regional spices. Popular in coastal homes during mango season, this curry is known for its sour-spicy balance and light, comforting texture.

Sliced raw mango is cooked with coconut paste, green chilies, turmeric, and cumin to form the curry base. Fresh fish pieces—usually pearl spot, mackerel, or seer—are added and simmered gently until cooked through. The dish is finished with a coconut oil tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and shallots, enhancing its flavor and aroma.

Mango Fish Curry is a summer staple in homes across Alappuzha, Kollam, and Kottayam, and remains a nostalgic and seasonal favorite among Malayali families in Mississauga, Brampton, and Scarborough.
