I want to prepare this mango rice for a long time and now only got the time. My mom used to prepare this when she gets a chance. She add turmeric to the rice and it becomes light yellowish rice. But here, I have not added, since i wanted it to be with the natural colour itself.

  • Green Chillies - 2 (chopped finely)
  • Curry leaves - few (10 to 15)
  • Cashew nuts - 10 to 12
  • Ghee - 1/2 tsp
  • Oil - 1 tsp


Method

  • Grate the raw mango.

  • Cut onion lengthwise.
  • In a kadai/wok, add oil and when hot add mustard seeds, urud dal, chana dal and fry till light brown colour.

  • Add the curry leaves and onion and green chillies.
  • Fry till onion becomes translucent.
  • Now add the grated mango and fry for another 2 min.

  • Add the cooked rice and mix well.
