Mango Rice (Kachamba bhath)
Sunday, February 15, 2009
Manga Saadham is an option when I feel too lazy to cook. If the sourness in taste is not desirable, then the same recipe can be used for coconut rice except that the coconut shouldn't be fried, it should be added to rice directly.
Ingredients:
Mango (grated) - 1 cup
Rice - 1 cup
For seasoning:
Oil - 3 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves - 5
Channa daal, urad daal - 1/2 tsp each
Green chillies - 2
Asafoetida - a pinch
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Grated coconut - 2 tbsp
Cilantro (chopped) - 2 tsp
Direction:
1. Cook the rice with 2 cups of water and keep aside.
2. In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds. When it starts popping, add curry leaves, channa daal, urad daal and slit green chillies and fry for a minute.
3. Add the grated mango, asafoetida, turmeric powder and salt and cook till the mango becomes soft.
4. Remove it from flame and add the cooked rice with the mango mix. Garnish with coconut and chopped cilantro.
5. Mango rice can be served with pappadam or raitha.

Thanks Deepu, you guys prepare mango rice for ugadhi? Sounds great! :)
Thanks Mangala! Sure, try and let me know how it turned out.
Thanks Usha! I'm from Salem which is famous for Mango. So we prepare all kinds of foods with Mango. :)
Thanks Lavanya... Actually I have no idea about Mango puliyogare. I got this recipe from my friend Swapna Suresh. Also its similar to my mom's recipe. Guess coconut helps to add flavour.
Hi Nithya, thanks for stopping by. Hope to meet often! :)
