I have been making this dish for a few years now and love the spiciness. I've served it over rice many times and over butter lettuce for a quick lunch several times. Again, Eric only tolerates it because of the mango factor, but I rather enjoy it. I've used both fresh and frozen mango and can't really notice a difference. One of the reviewers said the not ripe mangoes added an extra tart to the dish she really enjoyed. Today I used unripened and the dish tasted the same as it always does. Regardless, I still really like it and will continue to make it. I should add that I always omit the coconut because we don't care for it so I'm not sure what impact that has on the dish.
