Chicken In Green Mango

Chicken, with a mild taste, sits well with a range of flavours and palettes. One option is cooking chicken with green mango, which will give the chicken a tangy kick. To make this, one needs chicken, oil, curry leaves, ginger, water, chillies, onions, green mango, chilli powder, garlic pulp, coriander powder, tomatoes, turmeric, onion seeds, and salt.

Although chickens have been domesticated for thousands of years, it was for fighting, and not eating. Cock-figthing was a popular ancient sport and started in Southeast Asia about 10,000 years ago. It’s in Maresha, an ancient city in Israel, which peaked between 400 to 200 BC, that researchers are finding evidence of chickens being kept for food. Over a thousand chicken bones with marks of butcher knives have been discovered. While roosters were used for fighting, most of the bones found were of females. In Europe, evidence of large-scale consumption of chicken shows up only in the 1st century BC, 100 years after the formation of Israel. Today, chicken is among the most common foods consumed across the globe, a big leap from the first humans who decided to eat the bird.

Given their health benefits and subtle flavour, chickens can be paired with a range of ingredients, and cooked in a variety of ways, and the Chicken In Green Mango is just one example of this versatility.
