Mango Rice / Mangai Saatham

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.

• Raw Mango - 1
• Onion - 1
• Mustard seeds - 2 pinch

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

Method
