The mango and spice part is pretty good, although not the best. I was expecting a mango flavour, and could barely taste any of it. Good overall though. The amount of yogurt was rediculous, however. It made it so that the curry had no flavour. I even halved it, and the curry still tasted pretty much only like yogurt. Had to make many, many other small tweaks to get the recipe to turn out right.

I made this recipe over the weekend and was quite pleased with it. I did, however, make some adjustments based on the previous reviewers' comments. First off, I started with frying the cumin, methi and mustard seeds first. I doubled the amount of those seeds (which might be too much for the average person, but wasn't too much for me), and then after frying them, I combined them with the turmeric, chili powder, green chillies and a little water, just enough to make it process smoothly in the food processor. Then I sauted the curry leaves in a little oil until aromatic, then added the mango cubes for a few minutes. Then I added the processed spice paste, and a little more water and simmered it for awhile. From there, I basically added a bit of water and cream (which I used instead of yogurt) at a time until the sauce was the consistency I wanted. One final note: I was unable to include the mango seeds in the recipe, because no matter how hard I tried, I could not split open the mango cores. The fruit I bought was pretty ripe, but still, the cores wouldn't open, either with a chef's knife or a serrated knife.

This was pretty good, but man was it spicy! I can handle it ok, but I think on average it might have to be toned down for some people... I used jalapeno chiles, so maybe that's why? I also added about a tsp of ghee. I didn't know how much 750 g of yogurt was, nor could I find any plain yogurt in the store for some reason, so I just used one yoplait mango yogurt cup instead. I still think it came out good. Also I took too long to make this, and my curry leaves weren't very fragrant, so based on someone's advice I doubled the amount of leaves. Thanks!
