My recipe provides a lot of sweet heat. The mango and coconut milk taste tropical while the curry paste adds a little fire. It's a perfect dish to spice up the traditional offerings of the season. To make a milder dish, just reduce the amount of curry paste. -Terri Lynn Merritts, Nashville, Tennessee
