A flavorful and aromatic mango curry dish inspired by Caribbean flavors, perfect for a quick and delightful meal.
Peel and cut the green mangoes into wedges, removing the seed.
Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts and avoid bruising the mango flesh.
In a small bowl, mix the curry powder, turmeric, and chili powder with a bit of water to form a paste.
Ensure the paste is smooth to evenly coat the mangoes later.
Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium heat and add the spice paste, stirring constantly for a minute.
Stirring prevents the spices from burning and enhances their aroma.
Add the mango wedges to the pot and stir to coat them with the spice paste.
Ensure all mango pieces are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Pour in the water, add garlic, salt, sugar, and mixed spice. Cover and simmer until the mangoes are tender.
Check occasionally and add more water if the mixture becomes too dry.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve warm with your choice of side.
Garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
