What is Mamidikaya Pulusu?
Mamidikaya Pulusu is an Andhra style sweet and sour stew made with season raw mangoes or green mangoes. Pulusu is a classic Andhra style sour stew that is usually made with tamarind, vegetables and a couple of spices. In this recipe, I have used the seasonal mamidikayalu or green mango as the main ingredient of the dish.
When green mangoes are available in the Indian markets during the summer season, it is a ritual to prepare pickles, preserves and many more using the seasonal produce. I have already posted some recipes with kacha aam, check them below.
Serving Suggestions:
It tastes best when served with hot steaming rice with a dollop of ghee.
