#FF Mango rice, also known as Mamidikaya Pulihora or Mavinakayi Chitranna, is a popular South Indian dish often prepared during Ugadi, the Telugu and Kannada New Year. It's a tangy and flavorful rice dish made by tempering spices like mustard seeds, urad dal, and chana dal in oil, then adding grated raw mangoes, turmeric, and salt. This mixture is then combined with cooked rice, creating a delightful balance of sour and savory flavors. Often, roasted peanuts are added for a crunchy texture. The dish is a seasonal favorite, taking advantage of the abundance of raw mangoes, and is a welcome addition to the festive Ugadi meal..
