Tips:

When choosing mangoes for kerabu, look for ripe, firm fruits with bright yellow or orange skin. Avoid mangoes that are too soft or bruised.
To easily peel the mangoes, score the skin lengthwise and crosswise, then use a spoon to scoop out the flesh.
If you find that your kerabu is too spicy, you can add more sugar or coconut milk to balance out the flavors.
Kerabu is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Mango kerabu is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy, sweet, or somewhere in between, kerabu is a great way to enjoy the flavors of fresh mangoes.
