Sri Lankan Mango Curry—known locally as Amba Maluwa—is a sweet, sour, and spicy dish that transforms firm, green mangoes into a jammy, aromatic curry that pairs beautifully with rice. It’s a staple in Sri Lankan households, especially during mango season, and it’s loved for its bold flavors and comforting texture.
