    Pulihora is an authentic Andhra style sour and spicy rice dish. Traditionally, we have many types of pulihoras and use different main ingredients such as tamarind or lemon to give the sourness to the dish. Today’s recipe is another traditional Andhra pulihora with Raw Mango.

    Mango Rice or Mamidikaya Pulihora is a traditional South Indian dish and we often make this in summer when the green mangoes are in the season. Mango rice is super quick to make and perfect for a breakfast or lunch box.

    Few Tips to Make the Best Mango Rice:

    • Always use the sour and firm green mango to prepare mangai sadam or mango rice.
    • Do not use the ripe mango.
    • The quantity of the mango depends on the sourness. Adjust the measurement accordingly.
    • Always spread the cooked rice on a wide plate to separate the grains.
    • Do not skip adding hing / Asafoetida. It will give the great flavor the dish.

    Raw Mango Rice Recipe with Step by Step Photos:

    • Wash one cup of rice with plenty of water and drain.

    • Transfer the washed rice to a vessel or pressure cook.

    • Add two cups of water to the rinsed rice and pressure cook for 3 whistles. You can also cook rice without a pressure cooker.

    • When the cooked rice is still hot, spread it on a wide plate to cool completely.

    • Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, urad dal, chana dal and peanut. Fry until light brown color.

    • When they are golden brown, add cashews, slit green chillies and dried red chillies to it and fry for a few seconds.

    • Add curry leaves and hing and continue frying for another few seconds.

    • Now add the measured raw mango and turmeric to the seasoned ingredients.

    • Combine and saute for 2 minutes. No need to cook more than 2 minutes.
    • Turn off the flame.

        Hi, you really don’t need a side dish. You can serve it with plain yogurt if you want 🙂
