Raw mango rice is a dish that comes alive with the tanginess of mango in every spoonful. This rice recipe is a tangy, crunchy, and delicious variety of rice recipes originating from South Indian cuisine. If you are a mango lover, then this recipe is for you.

This recipe is one of the most famous rice recipes in the southern part of India. The Mangai Sadam recipe that I share today is a Tamil Nadu style of preparation. In Andhra Pradesh, it’s popularly known as Mamidikaya Pulihora or Mango Pulihora. In Karnataka, this dish is known as Mavinakayi Chitranna. Every household in any state has its own recipe for making this easy mango rice, with a few variations.

As the summer season is on, so is the mango season too. I love raw mangoes and try to make recipes with them. Some recipes I make during the mango season are raw mango rice, raw mango coconut rice, instant mango pickle, mango pachidi, vegetable mango sambhar, mavadu (small mango) pickle, etc. This mango rice is one of my favourite and easiest recipes to make in under 20 minutes.

For making any variety of rice, precooked rice is the best. You can also use leftover rice, and it saves time too. In today’s recipes, I precooked rice to make coconut rice (the recipe is already in the blog) and mango rice.

Why’ll you love this recipe

  • It is super easy to prepare in under twenty minutes.
  • It all needs a mild tangy raw mango, pre-cooked rice, and two to three simple ingredients for tempering.
  • You can add any mix-ins according to the family’s taste. But I didn’t add any. I love to relish it as it is.
  • Perfect to pack for lunch boxes for both office-goers and kids.

Serving Suggestions for Mango Rice

Serve green mango rice with any raita like onion, carrot, beetroot, cucumber, etc. Also, it goes well with curry varieties like vegetables, paneer butter masala, and chicken curry. I love the rice as it is, and I serve my family with egg masala, potato fries, papad, and fryums.

FAQ

What variety of rice will be good for this recipe?

I have used Sona Masoori. Other options are basmati rice or the rice you use regularly.

What variety of raw mango can we use for this recipe?

I have used Kilimooku Manga (Tamil) or Totapuri Mango for the recipe. It has the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Use raw mango or green mango with a balance of sweetness and tanginess.

Can we use leftover rice stored in the refrigerator?

Yes, you can! Since the rice is in the refrigerator, sprinkle water and microwave for 30 seconds. It makes the rice soft and ready to absorb the flavors of the mango rice.

Can we use freshly cooked rice?

Yes, you can use freshly cooked rice but make sure it is not mushy.

What mix-ins go well for mango rice?

I love to add nuts like cashews and groundnuts. If you like mango rice on the slightly sweeter side, add raisins. Add nuts or raisins after adding the onion. Otherwise, it’ll get burned.
