I created this recipe inspired by the dish I tasted in the famous Kumar’s Mess in Madurai during my recent India trip.

If you are a mango lover (like everyone in our family), you certainly will enjoy this recipe!  Goes very well as a side dish with a variety of dishes ranging from rice, sambar, non-veg curries, chapathis, etc.
