March 11, 2009It's soo delicious, and I love mango in cooked dishes anyway. I'm still working on my Pineapple Curry recipe. There's a restaurant here in town that does it so well, and I'm trying to duplicate the flavors.
March 11, 2009This looks really good, Gloria! I've made Thai red curry before, and have used Pineapple but never mango. Eager to try it. Am adding to my "Try Soon" list and will let you know how it is!1 reply
