MANGO ACHAR

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the dressing. Combine the coconut milk, vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, the fish sauce, ginger, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a small nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Transfer the dressing to a serving bowl and let cool to room temperature.2. Stir in the mango, cabbage, shallots, and chile. Correct the seasoning, adding sugar or salt as needed the achar should be a little sweet, a little salty, and electrifyingly spicy. You can serve the achar right away, but it will taste even richer if you let it stand for an hour or so (no longer) before serving.Makes about 4 cups enough to serve 6 to 8Note: Traditionally, the achar would be flavored with a malodorous condiment called shrimp paste. I call for fish sauce, which has a similar flavor and is easier to find and use.
