Darryl,
Thanks for stopping by my site and commenting. What a coincidence… I actually just made this recipe two nights ago.
Let me know how it comes out if you try it!
OMG just made this for dinner tonight. I was nervous as to how it would taste since i had never cooked with mango before but it was an amazing combination and definitely will be making again. A mixture of sweet and spicy all in one! Loved it! I served mine with white rice.
Thank you for sharing
