Mango Rice is a flavourful, tangy rice made by tempering grated raw mango & spices and blending it with cooked rice. Mango Rice is a perfect meal for lunchbox & travel and is savoured by tangy taste lovers. 
Mango Rice Recipe with video and stepwise pictures. Raw Mango Rice or Mango Rice or Maangai Sadam is my fav.I love all tangy rice varieties like puliyodharai,lemon rice etc. I love this rice with little sweet taste so I always choose slightly ripe mango.
When I saw this recipe from a tamil magazine I instantly wanted to try, as it looked flavourful and tempting. And it didnt disappoint me at all, yummy tangy rice ready.
This is sure a easy variety rice which is quick fix for lunch. Potato chips or papad is a nice combination for manga sadam. There are lot of ways this manga sadam can be done but recently I found this recipe suiting to our family taste so this is going to be my keeper.

I love raw mango rice too 🙂 tangy and yummy. We make it pretty much the same way except the coconut. Will try adding next time. But if you skip the coconut, you can preserve the thokku for a week and use too I guess 🙂
