Raw mango rice

Raw Mango Rice
- Aparna Rao
Ingredients:
3 small bowl fulls cooked rice, 3 raw mangoes, ginger, chillies, peanuts;
Cook rice and set aside,
Peel and grate mangoes, fine chopped ginger and chillies. Seasoning- heat 2/3 spoons oil, add in a spoonful of chana dal, when it's semi roasted add a spoonful of udid dal, add the peanuts, let these roast well. Add in rai, jeera, sukha mirch, ginger chillies, kadi patta, hing and stir up the seasoning. Add in grated mango and haldi, and let this simmer. The entire process takes about 12 minutes. Put off the stove and mix in the rice. Add ghee and salt while mixing.  The rice should be separate and full. The texture has to be not too dry not too sticky. Add the right quantity to the mixture so that the khatta taste is just right.
Note - salt is to be added to the rice and not the raw mango seasoning. If salt is added to the seasoning, its colour changes due to some reaction.
