Fish and mango are good friends, and are found together in curries across the world – from India to the southern reaches of Indonesia and the eastern Caribbean. When seasoned and paired with spices and creamy coconut milk, these ingredients create a unique dish. The finishing touch is okra, which when cooked adds its gelatinous, thickening texture to the curry.
