Mamidikaya Pulihora/Raw mango rice

I made this on Bhogi. I love all kinds of pulihora that are made in andhra. My mom makes this during summer time with fresh raw mangoes whenever there is some cooked rice left over. I make this with freshly cooked rice as it tastes delicious when hot. I think my daughter went on me, she loves both pulihoras and pulavs.

Here is the recipe for Mamidikaya Pulihora:


1 big raw mango (peeled and grated)
4 cups sona masoori rice cooked
3 to 4 tbsp oil
8-10 green chillies slit length wise(adjust as per your taste level)
3-4 dry red chillies chopped into big chunks(adjust as per your taste level)
2 tbsp peanuts
2 tsp chana dal (Bengal gram dal)
2 tsp urad dal (Black gram dal)
2 tsp mustard seeds
good sprinkle of asafoetida (hing)
1 sprig curry leaves
salt as per taste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1. Heat oil in a wide pan and add green chillies, dry red chillies, peanuts, chana dal, urad dal, mustard seeds and asafoetida.

2. Once they start golden brown in color add curry leaves and grated mango. Mix it for a minute and turn off the heat.

3. Sprinkle the turmeric powder and a little salt on mango mixture and mix thoroughly. Now add the rice and add some more salt as per taste and mix the whole thing until everything comes together.

Easy to make and delicious to eat... Enjoy.
