The recipe says it all. The mango season is coming up in India and we all look forward to the Alphonso variety which is arguably the tastiest mango in the world I am told. :)Adapted from the Femina once more. I have a whole collection of the pull outs of the recipe section of this magazine. This recipe can be made with baby corn for vegetarians. Only you will need to add a little vegetable stock to cook the baby corn after sauteeing in a little oil. And no need of marinating the corn add all the marinade ingredients too at the time of cooking. Ingredients:
250 g king prawns |
20 g green peppers, cut into medium sized cubes |
20 g onions, diced into chunks |
3 g gingerroot, minced |
10 g garlic, minced |
1 green chili, deseeded and chopped (optional) |
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
30 g mangoes, peeled and cut into pcs. (around 1/2 a small ripe mango cut into chunks) |
15 ml oil |
salt |
1 dash soya sauce |
1 g sugar |
2 spring onions, with the part of the green used too |
5 g cornflour |
Directions:
1. Marinate the prawn with the soya sauce, salt to taste as the soya sauce has salt too, pepper powder, a little of the cornflour and 5 spice powder for around 20- 30 mins Heat oil in a wok and when medium hot fry the prawns (lightly as prawn should be juicy and tender) Remove and drain Then saute the ginger, garlic and spring onions.
2. Stir in the prawn, onion and green pepper.
3. Add sugar and the rest of the cornflour.
4. Season to taste if need be.
5. Stir well and add the mango pcs and toss.
6. Remove from heat to serve.
