The flavours of this curry are sweet, tangy, and gently spiced—like nothing you've tried before.
This isn't made from sweet, ripe mangoes. Instead, it uses green, sour mangoes—firm, tart, and crisp. When cooked, they soften just enough while holding their shape, releasing a bright, sour kick that forms the backbone of the dish.
The curry itself is a beautiful balancing act. Roasted curry powder brings nutty warmth, while turmeric and cinnamon add earthy depth. Onion and ginger provide a savoury base, and a touch of sugar rounds out the tartness. Chilli powder offers a mild, background heat. Fresh curry leaves finish it with their signature aroma.
The result is unlike any curry you've had: simultaneously sour, sweet, and savoury. Bright, refreshing, and completely satisfying.
Perfect alongside rich dishes like our Colombo Chicken Curry or Galle lentil Curry, where its tangy kick cuts through the creaminess. A true Sri Lankan hidden gem.
