Turmeric Raw Mango Rice

Us South Indians have a love affair with rice that no one else will quite understand. We add so many flavors and what not to our rice, that we have an entire category called variety rice. There is lemon rice, tamarind rice, coconut rice, sesame rice, tomato rice, curd / yogurt rice, sambar rice, mixed vegetable rice, eggplant rice, raw mango rice and so many many more. And of course, even our breads are rice based – like Idlis (steamed rice and lentil cakes), dosas (fermented rice and lentil crepes), idiyappam / string hoppers (rice noodles) and so on.

This one particular rice dish with raw mangoes for flavoring is something I learnt from a friend’s mom. She made one of the best raw mango rice and raw mango dal. There were times when I used to dream of this, wondering how to make it and then I finally got the recipe for it from her.
