  • Made this today. Didn’t have mango so used bilamagu. This is like an old version of chicken curry right? It’s really tasty! Goes really well with roshi. Although I skipped step 3 : p. Thank you for sharing the recipe…just a little point to note, you forgot to include when to put mango and salt.
