Steps

1. 1

   Mix together diced mangoes, shallots, green chiles, ginger, garlic, vinegar, and salt in a bowl until well combined. Allow the mixture to rest for 2 hours.

2. 2

   Take a large saucepan and mix together the mango mixture with coconut milk. Heat the mixture until it comes to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mangoes have softened.

3. 3

   Prepare a splash guard and have your measured spices within reach. Begin by heating oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat until it is almost smoking. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium. To check if the oil is ready, drop in a couple of seeds – they should crackle without burning when the temperature is correct. Introduce mustard seeds to the pan and temper them for a few seconds until they cease popping. If necessary, cover with the splash guard. Next, add red chiles and curry leaves, cooking them for about 15–20 seconds. Transfer this tempered spice mixture to the saucepan and thoroughly mix it in with the other ingredients.
