Mod also uses this recipe to make the same thing she uses for Tiger Cry steak which also contains tamarind and Thai chili peppers. You don’t have to just eat this with mangos either. You can dip pineapple, apples, Asian pears or whatever your heart desires.

Tiger Cry - Thai Style Steak

Store bought chili dip

A lady we met here in the Houston area makes a more Mexican version of the same thing. It’s like the convergent evolution of foods. You have a similar country, climate and plant wise, and you see similar recipes evolve. This one is so similar, in fact, you can just switch them out.

Her’s is more fruity than the Tiger Cry version though. I love them both. You won’t regret it either way you go. Here are mangos around her dip, which is what we actually used tonight. You can find her at this Instagram account, PicaQueen, and support a small startup that deserves to go big. She did not give me her dip, I paid for it and she didn’t ask for my help, I just believe in karma.
