Cinnamon: A dash of cinnamon adds a beautifully warm and comforting flavor to the dish.

Salt: Adding salt will help in bringing out the flavor of the mango, however, this is an optional ingredient.

Can you use light coconut milk?

Most people ask if they can use light coconut milk instead of full-fat coconut milk. Yes, you can use it but keep in mind it won't be as creamy as you desire.

You won't get the same texture with almond milk, either.
