One of the curries my MIL prepared in summer was Kooyad! I could just remember the name not the ingredients and that it is made in summer… a big help that it was!
I asked on
the whatsup group about making this curry both in the BM group and the family group.

My elder SIL, Seema rang me up. She told me since she cannot type all this on the mobile she is ringing me up. How I wish she had written I just would have copied and pasted! 😀
So what is Koyaad? It’s a piquant curry prepared from the seeds of a mango! Koy in Marathi is the hard seed of Mango! After cutting up the raw mango for pickle, she used to make a lot of them you are left with the seed which has some of the fruit but it cannot be used.
What better representative of Maharashtra where you are encouraged not to waste foodstuff?
How do you make it?
Koyaad
Indian State: Maharashtra
Ingredients:
- 4-5 mango seeds
- 2 teaspoon oil
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon mango pickle masala
- 1 lemon sized ball Jaggary (adjust as per taste)
- Water
- Salt
Method:
- In a pan take a non-reactive one okay that’s too big a word steel container add mango seeds.
- Cover them with water. A little above the seeds, say 2 cups of water and boil it, say 10 minutes( next time one whistle in the cooker).
- Cool the water. Then remove all except 2 seeds extract the mango pulp. Discard the seeds.
- In the chutney pot of the mixer mash the mango pulp to a smooth consistency.
- In a kadhai/wok heat the oil and add mustard seeds.
- Add the mango pulp, jaggary, salt, pickle masala, reserved mango seeds and bring to a boil.
- Once it thickens a little your koyaad is ready.
- Serve with rice.
Notes:
- Adjust the jaggary as per taste. You will need more or less jaggary depending upon your taste and the sourness of the mangoes.

A totally zero waste recipe... what a wonderful way to use mango stones to prepare a tangy and lip smacking curry or sabji.
