Exploring the World of Flavors: Thai-Inspired Mango Coconut Curry

Today, I am excited to share a recipe that holds a special place in my heart – a Thai-inspired mango coconut curry. The combination of sweet mango, creamy coconut milk, and aromatic spices always transports me to a tropical paradise, making it the perfect dish for a summer evening.

To start, gather the following ingredients:

• 1 large mango (ripe), diced
• 400ml coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons red curry paste
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 stalk lemongrass, smashed
• 3 fresh lime leaves
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt, to taste

As for kitchen tools, you will need:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large skillet
• wooden spoon
• grater

Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and lime leaves. Sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute.

Next, pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine with the curry paste mixture. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Add the diced mango, sliced bell pepper, and a pinch of salt. Continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mango is soft and the peppers are tender.

Once the curry has thickened slightly, remove the lemongrass stalk and lime leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. Serve the mango coconut curry over steamed rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.

This delightful Thai-inspired mango coconut curry weighs approximately 1200 grams once cooked. It serves 4 hungry diners, with each serving weighing around 300 grams. A serving of this dish is estimated to be around 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a splash of fresh lime juice right before serving. The acidity brightens up the flavors and adds a refreshing zing to the dish.
