Mango Rice/ Maamidikaya Pulihora


Mango rice is a traditional rice dish of Andhra that is nourished during Ugadi/ Telugu New Year. This is also a usual summer dish when we find plenty of mangoes during summer season.



This Rice is prepared using ripe mangoes and rice which has unique tangy taste and with aromatic tempering of peanuts, green chillies, red chillies, curry leaves. I love this Rice

I learnt this recipe from my friend Tulasi. Simple and very easy to make which is usually prepared during festival season.

What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfillment of the promise of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade….

Whoa Summer has arrived…I adore it !!! As a kid I used to love summer. There was no school. Instead, there were vacations, trips, playing, toys and books. Summer brought tasty fruits watermelon, mango (my favorite fruits) , along with chilled delights like icecreams, juices…
