Mango Rice

Mango rice is prepared with raw mango. It is popular in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.  It is very easy to prepare. It can be prepared in less than 15 mins. Its preparation is similar to Lemon Rice. State wise there is a variation in the preparation of mango rice. Today I will be sharing Andhra style Mango rice recipe.  

I posted this pic on Instagram at the time of Ugadi as this is a Ugadi special recipe in Andhra but forgot to share the recipe then. 😛 This month I am planning to share all the mango recipes only. This is my second Mango recipe. I hope you have checked out my first mango recipe i.e, Mango Shrikhand.
