Summer is a great season to enjoy mangoes. Anytime between May and August, you can get great-tasting mangoes that make the season enjoyable. Mavinakayi Chitranna is a simple, quick, and easy recipe that everyone in your family will love.
In fact, it was exactly a year ago that I shared a recipe for Vegan Mango Kulfi and it was a huge fan favorite at the time. Today, I am sharing a mango recipe that you can try any time of the year because you need raw (green) mangoes for this one. It is a simple, quick, and easy recipe for Green Mango Rice that everyone in your family will love.
Green mangoes have a unique aroma that adds aroma and tanginess to rice. Be sure to look for raw mangoes with no soft spots as they tend to ripen when they sit too long on the shelves. Just peel the skin off and grate them with a simple grater.
Grating them helps in cooking the mangoes by just sauteing for a few minutes along with other spices. Just cook the rice separately and add them in later to get an even mix. Apart from those little details, the procedure for this rice is very simple. I added a few peanuts to the mix to make it nuttier, but that part is optional.
