Indian-American author and former model, Padma Lakshmi, known for her love of food, has shared another mouth-watering recipe on Instagram. This time, it’s a dish close to her Indian roots—Manga Curry, a popular condiment from Tamil Nadu.
Manga Curry, also known as Mango Curry, has a unique twist in Padma’s version. Instead of using the usual tender green mangoes, she opts for unripe mangoes, which gives the dish a satisfying crunch. The recipe is simple and quick to make, and Padma has generously shared it with her followers.
