Easy Fish Curry Recipe with Drumsticks and Raw Mango

A delicious and easy fish curry recipe with drumsticks and raw mango. Spicy, tangy and all kinds of awesome! It is my favourite fish curry to be made in summer. Eat it with some Kerala rice (or plain steamed if you prefer it), an appam or a dosa or even a toast of bread like my son does. Yes, yes, you *are* allowed to roll your eyes!

As you already know by now, everybody in the family, including my son, loooves fish in any form so I always try to find new ways of making it for them. There are a lot of iterations of the traditional fish curry, the way it is cooked differs so much if you compare the North Indian, the Bengali way, of course and the South Indian varieties, you are very likely to get lost figuring out one is the best to try out first. Fear not, this easy fish curry with drumsticks and raw mango is the answer to your prayers. Quick and easy to prep, and delicious when you bite into, the raw mango adding a tangy twist to it – and the chewy drumstick providing it with another level of texture, this fish curry is absolutely brilliant in taste.

Summer is here and I was thinking of something else than the usual recipes with raw mango to make and then this thought struck me, of combining my now favourite fruit and protein together. And voila, this recipe came up!
