Notes
- You can regular cooked rice or even basmati rice. Cook rice such a way that it is not sticky.
- You can pressure cook rice or use draining method to cook rice. Make sure rice is cooked grain separated.
- Once cooked spread it in a plate and let it cool down completely before you add the thokku to it.
- The thokku can be warm when you add it but rice should be cool only then it will not become mushy.
- I have used red chilies alone but you can use 1 green chilli for flavor.
- You can even add a pinch of jaggery to balance the sourness of raw mango.
- You can add 6-8 cashews while frying peanuts.
