Mango with Coconut Sticky Rice

Now it's summer in New Zealand. Mangoes are quite cheap which mostly came from south-america. When I see these mangoes it just remind me a famous Thai dessert " Mango Sticky Rice" 
I made Mango sticky rice occasionally because it is high in calories :-P 

Yield: About 2-3 serves  

Ingredients

• 1 cup glutinous rice 
• 200 ml thick coconut milk
• 4 tbsp sugar
• pinch of salt
• 2 ripe mangoes

Methods

1.Rise the glutinous rice thoroughly in several changes of cold water. The water should become clean and then soak overnight in a bowl of cold water
