Maambazham Mor kuzhambu | Mango Buttermilk Stew

Jump to Recipe

Maambazham Mor kuzhambu is a delicious kuzhambu made with ripe mangoes. The tanginess of the buttermilk along with the sweetness of the mangoes makes this Mango More kuzhambu everyone's favorite.

I love mangoes and now that the mango season is here, I am totally enjoying the fruit. After moving to South, I found out a couple of different varieties of mango and I have been taste testing them.

During one such buy, the mangoes looked very ripe from outside, but when I cut them they were quite sour. Not knowing what to do, I kept the sliced mangoes inside a container and put it in the refrigerator.

Couple of days later, the mango was intact and tasted just like when I had left them inside. So I knew that they could not be consumed as is it and needed to be transformed into something else.

They were pretty squishy to be made into mango pickle and too ripe to be made into Mango pachadi. That is when I came across this Maambazham Mor kuzhambu recipe on Subbu’s kitchen and decided to give it a try.

The Maambazham Mor kuzhambu had a very intense flavor of the mango minus the sweetness. Once I knew this recipe, I have no fear to venture out and buy mangoes as I know what to do with the not too sweet ones.

This Mango More Kuzhambu recipe needs ripe mangoes, so make sure you use the ripe fruit and not raw mangoes. Also increase the spiciness of the kuzhambu as that will help neutralizing the sweetness of the fruit.

    Mango and buttermilk together to make a stew or curry, now that does sound really delicious. Whenever we make aamras, we also tend to make kadhi and add the mango stones to it to give it a sweet and tangy taste. I'm sure your maambazham morkuzhambu must be tasting similar.

    a unique use of mango - but good that you were able to use the green mango so that it did not go to waste.
