Mango Rice

Mangoes are the most prevalent fruits in summers.Mostly everyone love to have this thick fruit or use this tangy raw mango in curries .But,how about a tangy flavourful rice using mango.Its a very simple recipe and a nice twist to the usual plain rice.It can be served with a creamy side dish.I had prepared it for the first time and I should say it tasted almost like lemon rice and there were bits of the grated mango to munch in between.I also added grated coconut to make it more tasty ,you may omit that step to taste the simple flavourful mango rice.

Ingredients

asafoetida / hing / kayam podi1 tsp

Cilantro 1/2 bunch
