Raw Mango rice or Mamidikaya Gojju Annam is a quick Mixed Rice Dish that you can make for an easy lunch if you have the Mango Chutney prepared ahead. This is a typical summer dish.
While Mamidikaya Annam is frequently prepared during the season, this is the time I am making this chutney to make a rice dish. I adapted from here and modified it to my taste. The chutney is tasty and can be mixed with plain rice as well. This rice can be prepared in many ways. All you need is the gojju or chutney handy.
Mango rice is one of our favorite rice preparations and during the season we make it quite often. So it was interesting to note a dish prepared with the gojju. This means you can prepare the gojju and stock it well for many months. This is a quick rice dish to make and so you can make it for your packed lunch box as well.
