The What's cooking thread

A special cultivar of Mangoes , mostly grown for self consumption in my native place in India. It’s called suvarnarekha and it really tastes better than it looks.

Cool name :heart_eyes:

Looks good to me so must be delicious. :yum:

The ones in my farm generally were sweeter but this year hasnt been a good one(mainly due to the unpredictability of the rain).

Mangoes - I just hate them - never been a fan. I am aware I am an outlier.

I eat like 3 to 4 mangoes a season. Compared to the rest of my family who eat 3 mangoes a day during the mango season.

I dont respond well to fleshy fruits like mango , jackfruit , sitaphal , durian etc…

Not that i dont like the taste. But those fleshy fruits trip me up on the allergies front.

I generally have one mango of each type. Most are south indian variants.

Absolutely love raw mangoes and the pickles that we make there… Its just the ripe ones which dont set with me.

This allergy flared up in singapore when i had a durian. And somehow continued to other fleshy fruits

Do you make curries with green jackfruit?

Yes. And there are even biryanis with raw jackfruits. Seeds are used as well for dishes too.

The only time I would tackle a Mango is when I mix a smoothie along with some oranges

Without knowing the sort of mangoes that you get over there (as well as the sweetness and tangyness nature of the said mangoes) , I wouldn’t even deign to judge.

The type Tesco sell :0)
Will check the name next time I buy some :+1:
Once peeled and de-stoned, the flesh is great for thickening the smoothie just to the right consistency…

I took an Uber to work last month and the driver was so excited to be going back to Pakistan for thr first time since covid so he could eat “4 or 5 mangoes a day”.

Are they really that good over in that part of the world?

Oh yes. Mango is something which is native to the indian subcontinent.

No clue about Biriyani but hot chicken/beef curry with jackfruit seeds is yummy :yum:

if I had access to that many fresh mangoes, I’d be a tequila fiend. I love me a good mango margarita.

Right , all this talk about mangoes made me raid my refrigerator for one. Hopefully, It won’t harm me.
