Mango rice is a tangy flavored healthy meal option. This rice recipe is almost similar to tempered rice, lemon rice, coconut rice. To prepare tadka for Kairi Bhat or Mangai Sadam, heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, urad dal, chana dal, groundnuts, red chili, green chili, curry leaves, and saute. Add hing, turmeric, and grated raw mango. Saute everything until the mango turns soft. Lastly, add salt and gently fold this prepared mango mixture in cooked rice. So for this Mango rice recipe, we need perfectly cooked and non-sticky rice. You can use leftover rice too.

You can make this Mango tadka well in advance and refrigerate. Just before a meal, mix well nicely in warm cooked rice and serve with salad, papad, curry of your choice. I usually make roasted beetroot salad with this Mango rice. Whenever you are running out of time, make this easy no-fuss Indian Raw Mango Rice. It is the best option for a Lunch box too.
