Pacha Manga Curry / Raw Mango Curry

What's the difference between mambazha pulissery and this manga curry ? For this manga curry, pachamanga (unripe mango) is used and for mambazha pulissery, ripe mango is used.

Since pachamanga is sour, yogurt is not necessary to make this curry. I was supposed to make this curry with unripe mangoes, but by the time i got down to make this curry, mangoes became semi-ripe. Anyways, i went ahead and the final result was really a yummy mango curry. The aroma was overwhelmingly so similar to mambazha pulissery.
