Raw Mango Rice / Manga Sadam / Kachi Kairi Chaval

'Raw mango' - even a thought of mango makes one's mouth water...... Summer is the season for mangoes; raw and ripe. I already made instant pickle with the sour mangoes. Got this less sour variety called thothapuri / kilimooku mango.... which are more tasty for instant pickles and for making this variety rice dish called "Mango Rice" / Manga Chadham (sadam) / Kachi Kairi Chaval.


This is a quick and easy dish to make when you have some ready cooked rice!

You may need :-

1. Raw Mango - 1/2 No. (thothapuri variety/kilimooku manga)
2. Cooked rice -2 cups
3.  Green chillies - 2 Nos. (or as per your preference)
4. Curry Leaves - 8 Nos.
5. Sesame Oil - 1 tbsp
6. Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
7. Urad dal - 1 tsp
8. Asafoetida - a pinch
9. Salt to taste
10. Turmeric powder - a very little pinch

 
Procedure:-

• Grate the raw mango with skin on. 

 

• Finely chop the green chilli.

• Heat oil, add mustard seeds. When it starts spluttering add Urad Dal and fry till it turns into golden brown.

• Add asafoetida powder, and then the Curry leaves, finely chopped green chillies and  grated Raw Mango.

 

• Add little pinch of turmeric. [Only a little so that it doesn't turn the color of the dish but higlhlight the beauitful color of mango].

• Saute for two minutes till mango turns little soft.  Turn off the flame.

•
