That sounds like a really interesting mix of flavours, it won't be the same with cashew or madacamia nuts or tofu instead of the chicken, but I am sorely tempted to try this one out as a vegetarian alternative.

You could try it Marina, it would probably work with tofu.  I added the chilli sauce bit, thought it might need a little bit more flavour than the original recipe  Some people could handle more chilli sauce than I used though.  I know my Mum is going to love this one.

I like the sound of this one too.  Will try it when mangoes are back in season or would tinned ones be ok?

The recipe uses a 420g can for this recipe Julie including the juice but remember I halved the recipe.
