Preparation

Stir garam masala with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt and pepper; sprinkle over both sides of chops. In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add 2 or 4 chops depending on size of pan; sauté 4 to 5 min per side until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 2 chops, if needed.

Add cream, ginger, garlic, pepper flakes and remaining salt to pan; stir and simmer 1 min. Add mango and onion; cook 1 min to thicken slightly. Stir in cilantro.

Spoon sauce over pork. Top with a wedge of lime for squeezing over top.
