Veggies in Mango Gravy Stew

As mentioned in my earlier post, raw mangoes have started its appearance in the local market. Although I bought these raw mangoes for pickle making, I decided to try making a dish with mango gravy and it turned out well.

You can serve this dish with rice or flat breads such as roti or dosas. I served these with Rice flour dosas.
