(Beef curry with mango.)

Curry beef with mango, eggplant, potato and coconut sauce is one of many delicious recipes from Khmer Krom in *Preah Traping* Tra-Vinh province.
My dad's grand uncle who was an excellent cook told my dad that back in the old time, they made this soup with water buffalo meat, and the mango was added to tenderize tough water buffalo meat.
