1

Chop half ripe mangoes in half, then in quarters, and remove the thin membrane inside.

2

Peel the mango or leave the skin on if preferred, then chop into small chunks.

3

Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottom pot.

4

Add cumin seeds and a cinnamon stick to the hot oil, stirring until the cumin seeds turn dark brown.

5

Add sliced onions and chopped scallions, stirring until they brown slightly.

6

Add chopped hot pepper, crushed garlic, and green seasoning, stirring for a couple of seconds until fragrant.

7

Add dry spices: curry powder, masala, and ground cumin, stirring to combine.

8

Toast the spices for about 30 seconds, then add a little water to create a paste.

9

Cook the mixture for about 5-6 minutes until it darkens and the oil releases from the mixture.

10

Add salt to the mixture to build flavor.

11

Stir in brown sugar until melted, ensuring the mixture looks liquidy as the oil releases.

12

Add chopped mango to the spice mixture and allow it to cook down for about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Cover the mixture with water to allow the mangoes to boil and thicken the sauce.
