rice is our staple food, i personally cook rice everyday for my lunch and dinner. but sometime i end up cooking more rice which typically end preparing chitranna or flavoured rice for next morning breakfast or for lunchbox. during summer or mango season i always end up preparing mango rice or mavinakayi chitranna recipe. this is my husband’s personal favourite recipe and he especially like the recipe from a raw and sour mangoes. moreover he likes it with the combination of peanut chutney or tomato chutney recipe.
while the recipe is extremely simple for mango rice recipe yet i would like to highlight few tips and suggestions for a perfect one. firstly, always use a raw or tender mango for this recipe. make sure the mango is not ripe and does not have the sweet taste to it. secondly, this is a simple karnataka mango chitranna recipe in which grated coconut is added. however in andhra version no coconut is added and is prepared with just grated mangoes. lastly, chitranna or mango rice recipe tastes better with left over or dry rice recipe. you can also cook with freshly prepared rice but it has to be dry without moisture.
finally, i would like to highlight my other rice recipes collection with this post of mango rice recipe. it mainly includes, pudina rice, palak rice, methi rice, lemon rice, coriander rice, ghee rice, carrot rice, capsicum rice and tomato rice recipe. in addition do visit my other recipes collection like,
