Add half the amount of mango; all of coconut milk, lentils, water and stir. Bring to a boil, cover and cook on low for 20-25 minutes or until lentils are soft. Add remaining half amount of mango, stir and adjust thickness of curry with water to taste. Then adjust spices (salt and curry paste) if necessary.
