Raw Mango Rice (Mamidi Kaya Pulihora)

We see Raw mangoes very rarely in our place. This weekend when I went groceries, luckily I found raw mangoes. Mango rice is very simple and delicious dish. Perfect for hot summer days, where I really don’t feel like to spend much time in Kitchen.

Ingredients:

2 cups of cooked rice (Left over rice would be best option for this recipe)

Peeled, grated Raw Mango – 1 cup

Peanuts – 2 spoons

Cashews – 2 spoons

Ginger – a small piece chopped into small pieces

for Tadka, Popu:

Chana dal – ½ spoon

Urad Dal – ½ spoon

Jeera & Mustard seeds – ½ spoon

Methi seeds – ¼ spoon

Dried Red chillies – 3

Green chilles – 3 Slit into two pieces

Oil – 3 spoons

Turmeric – a pinch

Salt – according to taste

curry leaves – 5 or 6

Cilantro or Coriander leaves – for garnishing

Heat oil in pan, and add mustard seeds and jeera seeds. Let it splatter, add Chana dal, urad dal, Methi seeds, red chillies, green chillies, peanuts and cashews. Add salt and turmeric to the oil. Toss them for few seconds. Add curry leaves, grated ginger, stir for 2 seconds. Add grated mango and fry it for 5 mins. Turn off heat and keep it aside. Mix with the left over rice, make sure the grains are separated. Use your hand or wide spoon to make sure the mango mix missed with the rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve it with Papad or Curd.
