Mango rice recipe | Raw mango rice | South Indian mango rice recipe

   A simple yet flavourful rice dish for a weekday lunch would be a perfect option. Mango rice is a typical south Indian variety rice recipe made with freshly grated raw mango. And I love adding a lot of peanuts and dal in this recipe to give it a good crunch. This recipe is pretty much similar to the lemon rice recipe because of it's color and tangy taste. But for the mango rice tanginess comes from the raw mango so you'll get the nice raw mango flavor in your rice.
