Ambya Humane is a sweet, tangy and spicy curry of mangoes. Mango is a National fruit of India and it’s available abundantly during Summer. There are ample varieties of mangoes; Hapus, Payri, Dasheri, Langra etc. Hence you will find tons of dessert recipes with the same. One of the popular one from Konkani cuisine is ‘Ambya Humane’.
Traditionally, small locally grown mangoes are used for this recipe. They have fibrous pulp and soft skin. But in USA, I couldn’t find these mangoes, so I have used a different variety. My MIL also adds mango seed (goitha) in the curry.
Even though it’s a dessert, it is seasoned with tempering, which is what makes it unique. Thus, it can also be served with chapathi or rice. You can check my other Konkani dry curries such as:
