Mango rice / Maavinakayi Chitranna / Manga Sadham
Raw mango rice is a South Indian delicacy made with sour mangoes. We prepare it like we make lemon rice at home. Here in this recipe, the tanginess comes from the raw mango instead of lemon juice. It is one of the easiest rice varieties which can be made in few minutes without any fuss. The mangoes should be cooked well to give it a good tangy flavour. In another version of mango rice, we add the shredded coconut. The rice should be dry without any moisture. So after cooking the rice, spread it on a plate and add a tsp of oil over it. So that the grains remain separate. Mango rice is so easy to make and tasty as well.Other variety riceCoconut riceLemon ricePuliyodharaiSweet rice / Jaggery riceCurd riceVangibathBisibele bath
