Description
Mango Chicken is a common dish found in India and several Asian countries. This dish is made out of coconut milk, chicken, mangoes and curry spices usually served with rice or bread like naan. A really good balance of flavours in one dish where the sweetness of mangoes and creaminess of coconut milk mellows down the spices.

I always think I don’t particularly care for mangos until I see a recipe like this. Looks delicious. I like butter chicken too 🙂

Raymund,
I’ve never had mango chicken but I can see from this recipe that that’s about to change! (if I can still find mangos since it’s a tad wintery here at the moment)
That looks great. We don’t eat mangoes like this, just don’t think to. Now we will.

This recipe fits nicely into my recent curry kick I’ve been on … do you use a certain brand of curry powder?
I guess any brands will do, I just use the normal ones here
What an interesting combination of ingredients! Sounds so delicious!
