Preparation

Cut the chicken fillet into small cubes, peel and dice the fresh mango. Finely dice the onion, crush the garlic, finely chop the ginger and purée the tinned mango.
Heat the oil in a large pot and brown the chicken cubes all over. Season with 1 tsp coriander, salt and pepper and remove from the pot.
Fry the onion, garlic and ginger in the same pot, then stir in the turmeric and 1 tsp cumin. Briefly fry the tomato purée, mango chutney and, if you like, the curry paste, and add the sugar.
Deglaze with the coconut milk, then stir in the crème fraîche, cream yoghurt and mango purée.
Return the meat to the sauce and season with salt, a little sugar and the remaining spices. Fold in the diced mango last and leave everything to simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
Serve with basmati rice or naan and sprinkle with fresh coriander if you like.

Drink with it

White wine · excellent match
Gewürztraminer or off-dry Riesling
A touch of residual sugar absorbs the sweet mango sauce, and Gewürztraminer brings its own lychee and ginger notes.
Which wine pairs with food? A simple approach to choosing
Wheat beer · excellent match
Hefeweizen, well chilled
The banana and clove notes of the yeast suit the mango and the spices, and the carbonation loosens the crème fraîche and coconut.
Wheat Beer: Where Do Banana and Clove Come From?
Sweet wine · good match
Moscato d'Asti, well chilled
Low alcohol, light bubbles and peach fruit sit alongside the fruity-sweet sauce without covering it.
Which wine goes with dessert? Comparing sweetness deliberately
Ginjo sake · good match
Ginjo, well chilled (8 to 10 °C)
The fruity ginjo aromas recall ripe mango, and its soft character leaves the cumin and coriander in place.
