Ginataang Alimango at Langka

Guinataang Alimango at Langka is a dish made out of crabs and young jackfruit cooked in coconut milk, it works well with freshly cooked jasmine rice and eating it the Filipino way only by hands.

Philippines have an array of choices when it comes to seafood and vegetable curries, this one is one of the many variations and you have to trust me it is really good. This dish is made with crabs and young jackfruit cooked in coconut milk with chillies, it works well with freshly cooked jasmine rice and eating it the Filipino way only by hands served on banana leaf. I remember we cook a lot of this dish when I was young, my grandmother being a Bicolana loves dishes with coconut milk and chillies and there isn’t a week that will pass where she will not prepare curries similar to this, dishes like laing, ginataang kalabasa and ginataang isda are the usual viands we had.
