That is a classic, vibrant combination! There is nothing quite like a summer garden-to-table curry when mangoes and drumsticks are at their peak.
​You’re spot on—the tadka (or thalikkal) is where the magic happens, and it changes beautifully depending on the region, the dish, or even the specific family recipe.
​Based on the video, here is a breakdown of what makes this particular Kerala-style tempering so distinctive for a summer yogurt or coconut-based curry:
​The Anatomy of this Thalikkal
​The Base: Sliced shallots (cheruvulli) and fresh curry leaves are gently fried until the shallots start turning a golden translucent color, releasing that sweet, foundational aroma.
​The Crunch & Heat: Whole dried red chilies are cracked and added, infusing the oil with a smoky warmth, followed by a pinch of mustard seeds or fenugreek (uluva) depending on the exact curry variant, adding that essential bitter-earthy balance.
​The Finish: Pouring that sizzling, aromatic oil directly into the simmering, vibrant yellow mango-drumstick curry instantly wakes up the flavors.
​Because this is a mango-based dish, the sweetness of the shallots in the tempering perfectly bridges the gap between the tangy fruit and the savory, spiced base.
​Every home has its tiny variations—some love a pinch of chili powder right at the end of the tempering for color, while others stick strictly to the whole chilies. How do you usually like to finish yours? Do you prefer using coconut oil exclusively for this step to keep it completely traditional?
