Prepared rice / Kalandha saadham is something I make when I have no clue what to make for lunch or dinner. Maangai Saadham | Raw Mango Rice was something I have always wanted to make but for some reason the right time never came.

In fact for the past 2 months, our local Indian stores absolutely ran short of raw mangoes. My boys had been asking me to make mango pachadi, but every time I went to the Indian stores, they did not have raw mango.

Last week, just after Navarathri, when I had run short of just a few things, I asked my husband to make a quick stop at the Indian stores after work. He saw that they had raw mangoes and remembered my quest to find them.

He bought couple of large ones and I made this rice with one of the mangoes. I am starting November's Blogging Marathon with the the theme, Bring your rice dishes. This is my first post under that.

This rice is very easy to make and tastes delicious with a slight undertone of mango. The mango I used was pretty sour and hence it added quite a bit of sourness to the rice, which we liked. If the mango is not very sour, add a teaspoon or so of lemon juice at the end.

I have presented this rice in a bowl that was a gift for me from our dear friend, Ananthi and Masilamani, who had visited us for Navarathri golu. We really enjoyed having them over and the bowl is a lovely addition to my never ending props collection.
