Mango Rice / Mangai Saatham

by 48 Comments

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. 

Ingredients

  • Cooked rice – 2 cups
  • Raw Mango – 1
  • Onion – 1
  • Mustard seeds – 2 pinch
  • Urud dal/black gram – 1/2 tsp
  • Chana dal/Bengal gram – 1 tsp
  • 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.
  • In another small pan, add ghee and cashews and fry till it becomes slight brown colour.

  • Now transfer the fried cashews with ghee to the mango rice and mix well and serve.

    Nice looking dish! I've never tried mango in a rice dish before – I've been missing out, because this is spectacular. Putting tumeric in the rice sounds like a great idea, although I enjoyed seeing it portrayed in its natural color. Good post – thanks.
