Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1½ cups fresh mango, peeled and chopped (save ⅓ cup for adding at the end)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- ¼ cup parsley, chopped (save a few pieces for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2–3 tablespoons sugar (adjust based on mango sweetness)
Instructions
- 1
Chop fresh mango into large chunks and roughly chop the parsley or cilantro. Squeeze the lime for juice, then measure out all ingredients so everything’s ready to go.
- 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped mango, soy sauce, curry powder, lime juice, and sugar. Stir gently to mix. Save a handful of mango chunks for later if you prefer a sauce with a bit of texture.
- 3
Cook on medium heat for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens and the sauce begins to thicken slightly. It doesn't take long to cook.

Stir in the chopped parsley, saving a few pieces for garnish. Remove from heat.

For a smooth sauce, blend with an immersion blender until silky. If you like it slightly chunky, add the saved mango pieces (chopped smaller) and give the mixture one quick pulse to blend it all together.
