Prawn and mango curry

A fruitful number this. Some grated coconut (packet desiccated is fine too), fresh coriander leaves and little chunks of ripe mango can be served alongside. Poppadums wouldn’t go amiss either. Look out for Alphonso mangoes, available from April to June. Slice into one of these blondes and you’ll find thick, ochre-orange flesh that’ll slip down, with a nectar and flavour as heady as it is bright.
