Tips for selecting ingredients

Make sure to select a ripe but firm mango for the best flavor.
For a healthier option, use olive oil instead of margarine.

Ingredient substitutions

Substitute olive oil for margarine: Olive oil is a healthier alternative to margarine, as it is a natural source of monounsaturated fats which can help to reduce cholesterol levels.
Substitute fresh thyme for dried thyme: Fresh herbs are more flavourful than their dried counterparts, so using fresh thyme will add a brighter and more intense flavour to the dish.
