Raw night strikes again!
Mango is in season so I wanted to make something especially mangoriffic. OMG they’re beautiful!!! Mango are available in Florida starting May well into October and a range of varieties are common in the supermarkets and farmer’s roadside stands. This particular variety is called “Philippine” and have a soft honeyed flavor with a light acid content. Mango are a great source of vitamin C, antioxidant polyphenols, vitamin A and carotein. They’re also rich in prebiotic fiber: that means they can help keep your digestive tract healthy. Mango is the national fruit of India so it’s no mystery that curry is a great flavor element to complement this nutritional powerhouse.
In my blender I combined the following:
1 cup of pumpkin seed pits
1 tbsp of curry powder
t tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp raw tahini
1 tsp chili paste (or to taste)
water as needed
tamari (or salt) and pepper to taste
I blended it until we had a fragrant spread. We added it to a cabbage leaf (yes, I’m still wrapping just about everything up in cabbage leaves in order to facilitate eating it) with some spinach, cilantro and fresh sliced mango. I’m a big fan of how the herbal flavors in cilantro bring out the complex flowery, honey tastes in the mango and how the acid in the mango accentuates the cilantro’s minty and peppery overtones. The myriad of spices in the curry marries everything together for an awesome meal.
It was a perfect storm of flavor in our mouths.

Turning Veganese 
I wish I liked Indian curry powder. 😦 Maybe I need to just teach myself. With all these veg curry recipes, it seems like I’m really missing out!
Not all curry powders are created equal. I’ve had to throw out containers of store bought curry powder because they just didn’t taste good. If you’ve got a friend or colleague with family in Southeast Asia or an Asian market in your area, they might be a good hook up for really good curry powder and garam masala.
Very nice site, thanks for share this article with us
I was recommended this blog by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my difficulty. You’re wonderful! Thanks!
