Rice mixed with grated unripe mango is a festival rice that is specifically prepared on “Ugadi” – The Telugu New Year celebration, in our homes.<\/p>\n

Here is the simple, 4-step preparation process of festival rice – in images:<\/p>\n

\"Grating<\/center>
\nStep 1:<\/strong>
\nPeel the skin and grate the unripe mango. Measurement is: for 1 cup raw rice – 1½ cups grated mango to 2 cups. (Adjust the quantity to suit your tart\/tangy preference.)<\/p>\n

Cook the rice (preferably ‘Sona Masuri’<\/a>). Maintain the grain integrity, don’t cook to mush.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center>
\nStep 2:<\/strong>
\nIn a skillet, heat peanut oil or ghee. Add and toast the listed ingredients below. One by one, until pale gold, in this order:<\/p>\n

Cashews
\nPeanuts
\nChana dal (presoaked in water for about 30 minutes beforehand)
\nSlit green chillies -brown them for better taste
\nCurry leaves and few pieces of dried red chillies
\nMustard seeds and cumin<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the end, bring all these toasted ingredients, sprinkle turmeric and asafetida. Stir to mix and saute for another two minutes. (See the photo above)<\/small><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center>
\nStep 3:<\/strong>
\nAdd the grated mango to the pan. Stir to mix with other toasted contents in the pan. Cook it on medium-high just for two minutes and switch off the heat. (This is done to remove the raw smell of grated mango. Do not cook the mango gratings more than two minutes, that would kill the precious mango flavor.)<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong>
\nAdd salt and mix this toasted mango-peanut mixture with cooked rice thoroughly with a big spoon or with your right hand. Serve hot. <\/p>\n
