This is another one of my favourite Kerala dishes. It is slightly sweet, so not everyone likes it. But with the Mango season almost over thought i should make kalan one last time

Ingredients
2 ripe mangoes
1 cup beaten curd
half a coconut
1 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
2 green chillies
1 small piece of jaggery (optional)
salt to taste
For the tadka:
2  dry red chillies
4-5 curry leaves
1 tsp mustard seeds
a pinch of methi seeds


Procedure
Peel the mangoes and cut in to small pieces. You may put in the seed of the mango as well
Add turmeric powder and chilli powder. Add jaggery (optional)
Boil with 1 cup of water for about ten minutes.
In the mean time whisk the curd until smooth, keep aside
Grind together, the coconut, green chillies and cumin seeds
Once the mangoes are well cooked, add in the coconut and curd and stir well. Add salt.
When  the the mixture starts to boil, turn it off. Do not boil it for too long, as it may get watery, due to the water seperating from the curd.
Give a tadka in coconut oil

Serve hot with steamed rice and kerala papadam
