Gail, take whole mangoes and drop it into boiling water. Cover the lid and keep it for 20 mins. Once the mangoes comes to room temperature. Remove the skin and make puree. This puree u can add it instead of tomato or with tomato. Add as much as you can but check the sourness that fits ur level

The crabs look very tasty Sanghi, however for a low spice palette like mine can I reduce the number of chillies and also maybe cut down on the pepper. Is there also a substitute for curry leaves that you could suggest? Looking forward to your feedback.

@foodwithme - Of course, please use chillies as per you palate. However, I'd advise not to cut down too much on the pepper. That brings a distinct taste to the dish. So do the curry leaves but if you can't get them, try a few bay leaves instead. Don't cook the bay leaves though. Just add a few (maybe 3 or 4) of them during the last one minute. Hope this helps.
