This is one of my husband's and my favorite recipe. It comes together quickly, most things we have on hand (no special trip to the super market...besides the mango of course :), and it tastes fantastic! The only changes we make are that we use what ever coconut we have in our home (sweetened or unsweetened), and often use the whole can of coconut milk. We like it this way to be more of a sauce because we prefer to serve it over rice. My sauce is never runny, it thickens up quite nicely

I actually end up pouring most of it down the sink. I think I'm going to cut it in half next time and see how that goes.
