Make Masala Paste:

Notes

  • I suggest to taste the mango before using. This will let you know how sour it tastes. If it not sour enough then stir in some lemon juice into the rice at the very end.
  • Feel free to use any medium or large grain rice. Make sure that the rice is not mushy and the grains are separate. But leftover rice can also be used.
  • Substitute rice with other grains like barley (like in this barley pulihora), quinoa, farro or any kind of millet.
  • The mango masala paste can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. So when ready to make, just cook some rice or use leftover rice, mix the masala for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
