    When it's Mango season, we always end up thinking what new we can make during the season. We have almost cooked and experiment whatever that's commonly prepared in South India, especially with unripe, green Mango. So it does come as a surprise when you come across a new dish.

    Recently I happen to taste a mango rice that my colleague got for lunch. It tasted so delicious, that all I could think was to know what it was made. However she said her mom made and she didn't know the recipe. Her shift changed and I missed getting the recipe from her. I wanted to recreate the recipe at home, trying to think what might have gone into the dish.

    I was explaining the experience to Amma, saying it almost tasted like a pickle or a Mango Thooku rice. Even the explanation I was given, almost looked like the unripe mango grating was cooked to almost thick paste and pickle masala was added. I also felt it had some dal taste.

    So the experiment ended up with a different Rice dish, equally delicious and tasted almost like the pulihora given in Temple.

    While I was extremely happy with this new recipe that was based on what I heard from my colleague, I am hoping she will get me the recipe soon. So I will make that again when I lay my hands on it!
