Description
Chakkara manga . A recipe I got to know through a social network guild ( home chefs guild ) in which I am a member too . Should mention about this guild as its a great platform for food lovers like me to get to know and connect with more people of the same passion and interest With impressive knowledge and appreciation for food . I have made friends for keeps through home chefs guild with a couple of wonderful Colourful personalities . The best part is , this recipe is my best buddy sulus recipe Which was passed down to her from her grand mother . an authentic malabar dish . The little time we get to spend with each other in person or over the mobile , all we do is up date our selves with the happenings around us and just pour out the things that can be shared between friends . Where is the time for us to think or discuss about recipes and food ?? The home chefs guild has given us this great opportunity to show off our talents and exchange recipes . If not for the guild , chakkara manga recipe should have been a never known dish to me . I did save the recipe on my mobile as how sulu had posted it on the guild . Wanting to try it out , searched for the recipe but was not to be found . Could not call n find out as sulu was on a holiday abroad . Did post on the guild asking if anyone knew the recipe but didn’t help . Then i messaged sulus cousin brother riyaz babu . he did send me the recipe but after i finished cooking and cleaned the bowl into my tummy . Having no other option , had to assume the recipe by looking at the picture sulu had posted and made this dish . It was yum and I slurped away the entire bowl . It did indulge the inner child in me and took me strait to nostalgia of my childhood days eating mangos . This dish will be a hit with kids and adults alike . If you are not a fan of salty and sweet combination in a dish , beware as this dish is addictive . Was going through my saved notes in my mobile latter and found the recipe . Dum me :-)) I did make it the same way but added a few more ingredients than the original recipe . Waiting for sulus verdict on this dish with my fingers crossed .
