This is a tweak to a recipe my father came up with some years ago. My coconut mango rice dish is also a remix to the popular Thai sticky mango rice. Instead of a sweet dessert finish, this recipe is savory dish. It could be better described as a coconut mango pilaf. We used graham mango for this particular recipe. This mango is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The flesh is firm and not stringy or fibrous, which makes it perfect for this rice dish. If you can’t get your hands on graham, a 1/2 to 3/4 ripe julie mango will work just as well.
