I have many childhood memories associated with this particular dish. My grand mom used to make it every time I visited her during summer vacation. This is a very traditional and everyday dish from my native place called Kerala, located at the southern most tip of India. It is a place that is rich in the arts and is also rich in a variety of flavorful foods.
I guarantee that the aroma of this “Prawn and Mango” in creamy coconut milk is enough to get even the soundest of sleepers out of bed!!!

This sounds so much like a dish commonly cooked in the southern parts of india. I guess it is a recipe of southern India. so fulfilling with a bowl of white rice.
