1

Combine the smoky chilli salt ingredients in a bowl then store in an airtight container until needed.

2

Combine the salt, chilli flakes, chilli powder and paprika in a bowl then store in an airtight container until needed.

3

Slice approx. 2cm off the end of each mango. Insert the wooden skewers firmly. Using a Y peeler, peel both mangoes.

4

Working from the bottom up, at an angle, cut slices into a mango all the way around the base to start forming the ‘petals’. Continue this process all the way around the mango until you reach the top. Repeat with the second mango.

5

Squeeze half a lime over each mango, sprinkle over the smoky chilli salt and serve.
