Amlechi Uddamethi meaning Curry Using Raw mangoes. It is one of the delicacies in Goa. Very popular among GSB community.

Amli means raw mango ,and which is one of the best option when used in curries or pickles. Few little pieces of raw mango in prawns curry, gives it an extremely differently , nice and tangy taste. I usually prepare raw mango sweet pickle, so that I don’t have to make use of those unhealthy store bought jams for bread  during breakfast.  You can prepare different kinds of vegetarian Indian recipes using raw mango.

When it comes to Uddamethi, you can either prepare vegetarian uddamethi  or non vegetarian uddamethi using mackarels or Bangde for what we call bangdyachi uddamethi. udda here means urad dal or Split Black gram and methi meaning fenugreek in Konkani . Being a Goan , from GSB (Gaud Saraswat Brahmin) family, I have tasted this amlechi uddamethi several times and goes well with rice along with some pickle, and papad and which is one of the  extremely easy lunch or dinner recipes.

This Goan vegetarian curry is prepared without any onions or garlic. So it is mostly prepared in GSB families on Mondays or whenevever there are veg days where no onions, no garlic is allowed.

The same recipe can be also prepared using amabade or ambara too instead of raw mango.
