Hello all. Whew I have not been giving any recipes for so long now, no no am cooking every single day, but somehow not posted any of the dishes been very preoccupied with crochet and family commitments, so  let me start  again, it is peak summer and mangos are a plenty. In the south we use mango that is raw ones, for chutneys, pickles and rice’s, so today

am posting  a tasty dish  called the Mango rice, it is light but delicious, so here goes…..

Make required quantity of rice, and cool, each grain must be separate please do not  over cook the rice.

Grate the mango, after skinning it, or you could cut it and run it in the mixi

With a little oil a [tea spoon is enough] , pit in a pinch od ‘hing’,  methis seeds [teaspoon] and red chillies according to taste. Fry this for a minute and remove from fire

Add raw mustard[ teaspoon], half a cup of grate coconut  and your fried ingredients, grind to a paste

Take a vessel put in the fire, pour a little oil , splutter mustard seeds, adds  urad and channa dhal, a few curry leaves, cashew would be a wonderful touch add one spoon of ghee, turmeric powder, the ground masala, and fry for  3 /4 minutes add salt and then the cooled rice, mix it well , your mango rich is ready.

Alternatively, you can use green chillies instead of red chillies
