Mavinakayi Chitranna - Raw Mango rice 2

I’ve already posted a recipe for mavinkayi chitranna(raw mango) which can be found here. Mavinkayi chitranna and lemon rice are very similar, one uses raw mango for sourness and other uses lemon.

I came across another unique way of making mavinkayi chitranna(link given below). A special blend of spices is roasted and ground and added along with mavinkayi. It tasted more like a mix between puliyogare and chitranna. Very tasty. Do try! 

Mavinakayi Chitranna - Raw Mango rice

I only knew one way of making mavinakayi chitranna, which is make tadka with mustard, urad dal, chana dal, hing, peanuts green/red chili and turmeric, add grated raw mango, sauté and mix with cooked rice. But I recently got to know about this recipe (through a Kannada sangha we are involved with), which is slightly different, but definitely more delicious than what I make. The recipe uses methi seeds, which makes it unique. I particularly loved the subtle methi taste + tanginess of raw mango. 

This recipe is from another favorite food blog of mine, which has many authentic Karnataka recipes. 

Make this delicious mavinakayi chitranna for upcoming festival season and enjoy!
