Mango and curry are a perfect combination; I use mangoes in curry dishes frequently. This dish features perfect dumplings simmered in a fruity curry sauce and baby spinach. I topped it mango curry chutney(found in the international isle alongside other Indian sauces in my local grocery store) for extra zing. So yum.
