Ingredients:

2 green mangoes

1/4 cup crushed fried anchovies or dried shrimp

1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander

3-4 shallots, sliced

handful of peanuts or cashews, crushed

1/3 cup fresh basil

fresh-cut green chili padi

Sauce

3 Tbsp. fish sauce

3-4 Tbsp. freshly-squeezed lime juice

2 Tbsp. (or more) sugar (to taste)

Preparation:

1. Peel the mangoes and discard the skin. The flesh of the mango should be firm and light yellow-orange.Using a medium to large-size grater, grate the flesh of the mangoes into a mixing bowl. Prepare the sauce by mixing together all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. It should taste sweet, sour, spicy and salty, but more sweet than sour. Set aside.

2. In a another bowl, combine and toss the shredded mango, coriander, sliced shallots and fresh-cut chilies.

3. Add the sauce and toss again. Add more fish sauce if necessary. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more sugar. If you prefer more spice, add more chili. If too salty or sweet, add more lime juice.

4. Place on a serving platter. Sprinkle the nuts and anchovies over top plus the basil.

Welcome Ramadhan!

Today is 1st Ramadhan 1430 Hijri. I'd like to take this precious opportunity to wish all Muslims in the world a happy and blessed Ramadhan.

"Any one who controls his stomach is in control of his deen, and anyone who controls his hunger is in control of good behaviour. Disobedience towards Allah is nearest to a person who is satiated with a full stomach, and furthest away from a person who is hungry." - Ibrahim ibn Adham
