Mamidikaya Pulihora or Mango Rice

Mango rice

Growing up in the south has given me a taste for South Indian food rather than North Indian. I proudly state that I am an Andhraite aka a South Indian Sardarni! Mamidikaya Pulihora or Mango Rice is a classic dish made of steamed rice, freshly grated raw mango and a few lentils and chillies to give a nice tangy and flavorful taste.

Mangoes on the tree

This version of Mango rice (Andhra style) is prepared with raw mangoes.  It is also prepared with tamarind pulp or lemon juice. I have mangoes growing on my small mango tree and I made this rice with them.  I prefer this mango version as I like the taste of the crunchy raw mango under my teeth. It is quite easy to prepare and in this recipe, I am adding grated mangoes instead of lemon juice or tamarind pulp to give a tangy and sour taste to the dish.

Instead of peanuts, we use cashew nuts during festival times.  My mom used to use left-over rice to make mango rice and it made a real delish breakfast dish. This rice dish is a one-pot dish and can be eaten on its own or with fresh yoghurt and pickle.

Recipe for Mamidikaya Pulihora or Mango Rice

INGREDIENTS

   Cooked Rice – 3 cup

   Grated mango -1 cup

   Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp

  Few stems of Curry leaves

   Salt to taste

 

  For the tempering:

   4 tsp Oil

   1 tsp Mustard seeds

   2 tsp Bengal gram/channa dal

   11/2  tsp Urad dal

   6 Dry Red chillies (break into 2 pieces)

   6 Green chillies, slit in the centre or whole

   Peanuts -1/4 cup

   Curry leaves – few

 METHOD

Firstly, cook rice in such a way that each grain remains separate-al dente.

Next, mix the salt, turmeric and curry leaf stems in the hot rice. The hot rice gets a nice even colour if the turmeric is mixed when it is hot the rice imbibes the amazing aroma of the curry leaves.

Consequently, spread it on a shallow wide dish to cool.

Grated Raw mango

Subsequently, wash, skin and grate the raw mangoes. Add the grated mango to the rice and start the tempering.

Ingredients for tempering mango rice

Tempering

Now, heat oil in a pan;  add Bengal gram, urad dal, red chillies, green chillies and the peanuts once they are done add mustard seeds and lastly add the curry leaves.

 See that you do not burn the peanuts or lentils. Remove from flame.

Remove the curry leaf stalks from the rice and finally,  pour the hot tempering over the rice and mix well.

Mango rice is ready

This Mamidikaya Pulihora or Mango Rice is different as it is slightly sour and I have found that more women like sour rice than men do! I wonder why!

My writing was limited to school essays and projects for my kids and out of the blue, my writing career began with writing articles for the magazine section of a reputed national newspaper. I rediscovered my best subject at school and began writing with gusto. I had a weekend column in the newspaper which was well appreciated. I started off writing about Interiors and Gardens and later diverse topics like Fashion, trends, food and events in the city. Juggling my time between various jobs down the years and my writing, I have written content for fliers, brochures for colleges, speeches, social media content and also website content. I love writing and I am open to writing on a plethora of topics. My blog has some interesting insights into my life and travels but now it is mainly a food blog as I am growing organic vegetables and cooking my own produce is very therapeutic. Read my blogs to know me better. I write from my heart and what I write is what I feel... I feel a feel, A funny feel A funny feel, feel I! If you feel the feel I feel You'll feel the same as I!!
