Anbu Riha
Did you know mango can be used to make a curry too? If you haven’t tried it, “anbu riha” which is a mango curry is well worth savouring at local luxury hotels or resorts. Generally, ripe mango is used for this dish and the blend of sweetness, spiciness and some sourness make a heavenly combination indeed.
