Divine Chicken and Mango Curry

Brian Holley's Note:

This wonderful dish is made using two of the most popular ingredients used in India and the sub-continent. The chicken is cooked in the rich coconut sauce and at the end of cooking the mango and tomato are added. I have just cooked a batch of this for the local restaurant for their curry night on Saturday.
