Instructions:
-
Grate the Mango: Start by grating the raw mango with its peel. This will bring a tangy and tropical flavor to your dish.
-
-
Prepare Coconut Paste: Create a paste by blending grated coconut, cumin seeds, and red chilies. This aromatic paste will infuse the dish with rich, spicy flavors.
-
Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat ghee over medium flame. Ghee adds a luxurious richness to the dish, enhancing its overall flavor.
-
Temper Spices: Once the ghee is hot, add mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds. Allow them to crackle, releasing their aromatic flavors into the oil.
-
Add Coconut Paste: After the seeds stop crackling, add the prepared coconut paste along with turmeric powder. Stir well to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Incorporate Curry Leaves: Mix in curry leaves, infusing the dish with their distinctive aroma and subtle bitterness.
-
Warm Rice: In a broad-based vessel, gently warm the cooked rice by adding ghee. Be careful not to break the rice grains while mixing.
-
Cook Mango: In another vessel, cook the grated raw mango over low flame for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once cooled, add the cooked mango to the warm rice along with the required amount of salt. Gently mix to incorporate all the ingredients.
-
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle finely chopped coriander leaves over the rice for a fresh burst of flavor and vibrant color. Serve hot with spicy gravy or crispy pappadams.
-
Adjust Spice Level: For an extra kick of heat, add more red chili powder according to your taste preferences.
-
Enjoy: Serve this flavorful Mango And Coconut Rice hot and relish the tropical flavors with every bite.
