Notes

Curry powders vary a lot and can really change the taste of this curry. For young kids look for mild curry powder. Watch for salt levels too, some powders can have a very high salt content. I always add 2 tablespoons of curry powder. However, every curry powder is different and you may wish to start with 1 tbsp.

The sweetness of mangoes can vary significantly, depending on ripeness and you may have to adjust your curry accordingly. If too tart, add sweetness with pineapple or pineapple juice; if too sweet, balance with extra lime juice or a touch of vinegar and salt (not for babies).
