    MANGO PULIHORA...
    Ingredients:
    1 cup rice (uncooked, raw) 1 cup grated green mango (or 1½ cups) 8 to 10 small green chillies - slit in the middle ¼ cup of cashews and peanuts combined 1 tablespoon of chana dal (soaked in water for ½ hour) 1 teaspoon of each - cumin and mustard seeds Few curry leaves and 4 to 6 small pieces of dried red chilli ½ teaspoon of turmeric Pinch of asafetida
    Salt to taste or ½ teaspoon
    Step 1:
    Peel the skin and grate the unripe mango. Measurement is: for 1 cup raw rice - 1 to 1½ cups grated mango or 2 cups, adjust the quantity to suit your tart/tangy preference.
    Cook the rice like you normally do, not too tight, not too mushy.
    Step 2:
    In a saute pan, heat peanut oil or ghee. Add and toast the ingredients until light gold and remove, one by one, in this order:
    Cashews
    peanuts
    soaked chana dal
    Slit green chillies, curry leaves, few pieces of dried red chillies, mustard seeds and cumin
    At the end, bring all these toasted ingredients, sprinkle in turmeric and asafetida. Stir to mix and stirfry for another one minute

    Step 3:
    Add 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 and do not cook the mango gratings more than 2minutes, that would kill the precious mango flavor.)

    Step 4:
    Add salt and mix this toasted mango-peanut mixture with cooked rice thoroughly with a big spoon or with your right hand. Serve.

    thank very much hollyhock
    but as I brought mangoes I prepared yesterday.
    I prepared the same but with a slight difference
    after doing pope,I added the powder(mustard,fenugreek) & then this mixture to grated mango.
    It's having nice smell but it's sour in taste.how can we reduce or for the next time how it will not be there?
    regards

    May be you have to fry on a low flame for a bit more time and also try adding a little bit more chilly powder.Normally i heard people saying that if the chilly powder is not enough the pickle stays sour.But not sure if it works .

    Regards.
