🍴 9 Exotic Mango Recipes From Around the World



Got too many mangoes? Excellent problem to have. Here are nine delicious ways to take them around the world without leaving the kitchen.
  • 🥭 1. Thai Mango Sticky Rice
    Cook sticky rice and stir in warm coconut milk with a little sugar and salt. Serve with thick slices of ripe mango and drizzle with more coconut cream.
    The trick: Use your sweetest, softest mango. Nam Doc Mai is perfect.
  • 🥭 2. Spicy Green Mango Salad
    Julienne a firm green mango and toss with red onion, cilantro, fresh chili, lime juice and a splash of fish sauce. Add crushed peanuts for crunch.
    Sweet, sour, salty, spicy and crunchy all at once.
  • 🥭 3. Indian Mango Chutney
    Simmer diced mango with ginger, vinegar, brown sugar, chili and warm spices until thick and glossy.
    Serve with curry, grilled chicken, cheese or simply attack the jar with a spoon.
  • 🥭 4. Mexican Chili-Lime Mango
    Cut ripe mango into spears. Squeeze fresh lime over them and sprinkle generously with Tajín or chili-lime seasoning.
    That's it. Three ingredients and somehow mango tastes completely different.
  • 🥭 5. Tropical Mango Salsa
    Mix diced mango with red onion, cilantro, jalapeño and lime juice. Add a pinch of salt and let it sit for 10 minutes.
    Fantastic with grilled fish, shrimp, chicken or tortilla chips.
  • 🥭 6. Mango Lassi
    Blend ripe mango with plain yogurt, a splash of milk, cardamom and a little honey. Add ice and blend until thick and frothy.
    Breakfast, dessert or emergency mango disposal system.
  • 🥭 7. Homemade Mango Sorbet
    Blend ripe mango with lime juice and a little sugar or honey. Freeze, stirring a couple of times as it firms up.
    For extra tropical flavor, replace a little of the mango with coconut milk.
  • 🥭 8. Mango Curry
    Cook onion, garlic and ginger with curry spices. Add coconut milk, chunks of mango and chicken or vegetables and gently simmer.
    Add the mango toward the end so you still get juicy pieces instead of mango disappearing into the sauce.
  • 🥭 9. Chili-Mango Dried Slices
    Slice mango thinly, sprinkle lightly with lime juice and chili, then dry in a dehydrator or very low oven until chewy.
    Make plenty. Somehow these disappear much faster than fresh mangoes.
  • 🥭 One Mango, Nine Adventures
    Ripe, green, spicy, creamy, frozen, savory or sweet: mango is one of those rare fruits that can do almost anything.
    The hardest part may be deciding which recipe gets the next mango.
