This sauce is a celebration of tropical flavors: the sweetness of mango and pineapple meets the spice of curry and the creaminess of coconut milk. It is an excellent accompaniment to grilled chicken or rice dishes. The natural pectin content of the fruit helps thicken the sauce.

Instructions

1

Dice the fruits and grate the ginger.

Tip: The smaller the pieces, the faster they will soften.
2

Heat the coconut milk with the curry powder until fragrant.

Tip: Fat-soluble flavor compounds in spices come alive in warm coconut milk.
3

Add the fruits, ginger, and chili. Simmer for 10 minutes until everything is soft.

Tip: Do not boil too vigorously so the fresh fruit flavors remain intact.
4

Stir in the honey and salt, then puree until smooth with an immersion blender.

Tip: Add honey at the end, as heat can degrade its beneficial properties.

Recipe FAQ

It's too runny, what should I do?
Cook it longer on low heat to evaporate more water (reduction), or blend in a bit more fruit.
