They had some really nice looking mango’s on sale at the grocery store on the weekend. I had been enjoying them as snacks all week but I realized that I would not be able to finish them soon enough. I needed to use them quicker. I had just tried some mango chutney and really liked it so I thought that a mango curry would be interesting. This is a variation of my standard curry recipe. (I forgot to pickup some plain yogurt and ended up using the peach yogurt that I had on hand.) It turned out a little too sweet but pretty good. The heat from the peppers and the curry spice helped to balance out the sweetness.

August 3, 2007 at 1:40 amHey, very inventive using the peach yogurt. I think it sounds like it would work in this dish. I only really started using mangos in the last year or so and I love them!

August 8, 2007 at 12:46 amI googled chicken, cilantro and mango (the three things I happened to have on hand) and arrived here.
The chicken gets set to the side and doesn’t return in the recipe, so I just added it in at the end.
It was excellent! Thanks much.
