‘Pacha Manga Curry’ or simply called ‘Manga Curry’ is prepared by cooking raw mangoes in coconut milk along with other spices. This curry is most common among the Christian community of Kerala, especially the Thrissur side. Kerala Style Mango Curry is best when served with Matta rice or Kuruva rice and a non-vegetarian dish like Pork Ularthiyathu, Beef Varattiyathu etc. You can see this combination being served in a Christian feast especially for Christmas, Easter or marriages.
