The recipe involves separately prepared parts, including a paste made of spices and fried onions. An underripe mango is preferred to hold its shape during cooking. An Asian variation uses soy sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar for a sweet and sour effect.
Mango chicken curry is a common dish in India and some Asian countries. It consists of a spicy curry sauce made from coconut milk, fried chicken and mango. The mangoes provide a nice, slightly sweet counterpoint to the spicy curry sauce. In Asian countries outside India, the dish may take on a sweet and sour characteristic rather than a spicy one. The dish can be served with rice or with Indian breads such as naan.
The basic Indian mango chicken curry consists of several separately prepared parts which comprise the unique flavor of the meal. The first part of the preparation involves mixing spices and fried onions into a paste. The chicken and mango are marinated in one part of the mix. The remaining mixture and some other spices, such as mustard seeds, are quickly pan-fried. The coconut milk is added to the pan and brought to a boil before the chicken and mango are added and cooked through.
The dish will end up with a spicy flavor that is tempered by the sweetness of the mango, although it will still be very spicy. Since it has a curry sauce, it can be served over rice so that the curry will go down and flavor the rice. The rice will also help relieve some of the additional heat. Indian breads can be used to the same effect, especially if the dish is eaten in the traditional way, using the bread as a utensil.
One of the main ingredients in a mango chicken curry is mango. Unlike a mango which will be eaten as a fruit, it is desirable for this fruit to hold its shape while the dish is being cooked. One way to do this is to choose an underripe mango. An underripe mango is much firmer than a ripe one, which may fall apart on your plate, leaving a sort of mush.
An Asian variation of mango chicken curry uses a few alternative ingredients to achieve a very different taste. Adding soy sauce, vinegar and brown sugar while cooking will create a sweet and sour effect in the dish. Instead of the mango easing the spiciness of the dish, it will caramelize and make the dish sweeter. The Asian mango chicken curry looks different too, because the curry sauce will look more like a glossy glaze than a traditional curry.
