I got the inspiration for this recipe from a South Indian Cookery class I recently visited at Food at 52.
I made my recipe in the The Optimum 9400 blender which was sent to me by Froothie to try out, you can see the original review here.
The Optimum 9400 is a really powerful and versatile blender, not only does it blend liquids, it can pulse, grate and grind ingredients. It crushes ice in seconds and you can create the most amazing icecreams in minutes. But that is not all, you can also create hot soups and sauces in the same blender too.I love using the blender for creating smoothies, soups, icecreams and nut butters too. It can even make scrambled eggs!!!

This looks very interesting - what do you serve it with? I love mangoes and bananas.
ReplyDeleteYou serve it with rice .
DeleteWhat a wonderfull combination of flavours. Fruity, creamy and spicy in one.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very unusual and tasty. I would love to have a go at making it
ReplyDeleteI'm always on the look out for new dips and things and this looks lovely. x
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a recipe for a buttermilk curry before, it looks interesting i must admit!
ReplyDeleteOoh my, this sounds really interesting Nayna. I don't think I've ever come across anything quite like it.
ReplyDeleteI love the combo here. Yoghurt and mango just goes so well together.
ReplyDeleteInteresting recipe.. Even my post is with yogurt today..
ReplyDeleteI liked the serving dishes .
I thought I had eaten every type of mango dish there was to eat in South India. I certainly put on the weight to show it! But i never came across this dish before and it looks so intriguing. It reminds me a little of khadee which I make with yoghurt but that's a savoury dish. I'm going to have to search out some mangoes to make this Nanya because I am so intrigued about what it will taste like. Thank you for sharing

ReplyDeleteThis is a new type of curry to me. Hardly any cooking either! I like the idea of the cooling contrast of the buttermilk with the spices and sweet fruit. Very balanced and interesting, Nayna. :-)
