Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, ground turmeric, and red chili flakes (if using), stirring frequently for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Stir in the diced mangoes and cook for 2 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth and creamy.
Return the sauce to the saucepan, reheat gently if needed, and stir in the lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
