Curry Mango Dip Recipes

CURRY PINEAPPLE DIP

Steps:

• Cut pineapple in half vertically, leaving the top attached. Remove fruit from 1 half, leaving a 3/4-in. shell. Remove fruit and discard outer peel from remaining half; cut pineapple into bite-sized pieces. Set aside., In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, chutney, curry and mustard until smooth. Spoon into pineapple shell and top with almonds. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours (remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving). Serve with cut pineapple and, if desired, crackers.

MANGO CURRY

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine mangoes, shallots, green chiles, ginger, garlic, vinegar, and salt and mix well. Set aside for 2 hours.
• In a large saucepan, combine mango mixture and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until mangoes are softened.
• Have a splash guard and measured spices nearby. Heat oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Immediately reduce heat to medium. (You can test the heat of the oil by dropping in a couple of seeds. The oil is at the correct temperature when the seeds crackle, but do not burn.) Add mustard seeds and temper for a few seconds, until they stop popping. (Cover with the splash guard, if needed.) Add red chiles and curry leaves and cook for 15-20 seconds. Add the tempered spice mixture to the saucepan and stir to combine.
• Garnish with fried onions (if using). Serve with rice.
• Cooks' Note
• Tempering is a traditional method of extracting optimal flavor from Indian spices, and it is a skill learned with practice! Reducing the heat a little before adding the spices prevents the spices from burning and adding a bitterness to your dish. If they do burn, simply start again with fresh spices.

MANGO CURRY DIP

• When ready to serve, unwrap the cheese ball and place in the middle of a large serving platter. Push down on the ball lightly to flatten the bottom and have it adhere to the plate. Spoon the mango chutney over the top of the cheese ball and sprinkle the slivered almonds over the chutney.
• Arrange the water crackers around the cheese ball. Let set at room temperature for at least one hour before serving.
