Ingredients

  • Cooked basmati rice (4 cups)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon or to taste)
  • Fresh cilantro (1/2 cup, finely chopped)
  • Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Vegetable broth (2 cups)
  • Coconut milk (1 cup, full fat)

  • Ripe mangoes (2, diced)
  • Sweet potatoes (2 large, peeled and diced)

Instructions

  2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, this should take about 5 minutes.

  7. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lime juice and finely chopped fresh cilantro. Season with salt to taste.
  8. Serve this flavorful curry over a bed of cooked basmati rice and enjoy!
  9. Optional: For added heat, serve with a side of spicy mango chutney or a sprinkle of red chili flakes.
