Raw Mango Rice / Mavinakayi Chithranna

Mangos are in season now. My daughters love to have raw mango rice in their tiffin box and this preparation of mine is one of their favourite rice items.

Ingredients:

To make rice: Rice – 2 cups, Salt – 1 tsp, Ghee – 1 tsp, Water – 4 cups.

Grated Raw Mango – 1 cup

Green chillies – 4

Turmeric powder – ½ tsp.

Salt

Capsicum – 1

Grated coconut – ½ cup

Chopped coriander leaves – little.

Seasoning : Oil – 2 tbl sp , mustard – 1 tsp ,urad dal –  1 tsp, chana dal – 1 tsp, jeera – ½ tsp ,asafoetida – ¼ tsp ,red chillies – 2 ,curry leaves – 2 springs .

Method:

  • Take one cooker vessel, Wash rice and pour 4 cups of water, ghee and salt. Keep this vessel in a cooker. Cook for 1 whistle and keep it in a simmer for 4 min. You will get perfectly cooked rice. After cooker cools down, remove cooked rice and spread the rice in a bigger vessel to cool.
  • Now take one kadai, prepare seasoning by putting oil . When it is hot add mustard. When it starts to splutter add urad and chana dal, red chillies .When dal becomes little red ,add jeera and asafoetida, curry leaves ,chopped green chillies and capsicum.
  • After capsicum becomes soft, add turmeric, salt, grated coconut and fry for a while.
  • Now add this seasoning, grated mango, chopped coriander to cooled rice.

  • Check for the salt and mix this mixture by using your hand.
  • Keep this for a while, so that rice will absorb all the seasoning.

  • Serve this seasonal mango rice either with any fritters or as it is.
