King of fruits/ Mango season is about to end and if
you haven’t tried using raw mango in much of cooking, then here is a simplest
recipe. It is very own of Dakshina Kannada/ Mangalore and goes great with kuchilu
ganji & tuppa (ghee). This recipe is a without fire cooking except a simple
seasoning requires fire! Please try this out with totapuri/ ginimoothi variety
of mango which has the balanced taste of tanginess & sweetness! Even other
varieties work fine for this. Thanks to my sister in law Vinaya, who suggested this quickest recipe to me!!
Mango works as a great appetizer and calls for more
rice especially when used raw or wild ripe mango. The tanginess makes you hungrier
and your sense of taste improves. Check for Raw mango rice/ Mavinakai chitranna
recipe here.
There is a saying ‘Coconut for Mango, Ginger for
Jackfruit’. This is just because coconut balances the acidic nature of mango
& ginger is helps in digestion of jackfruit. Today’s recipe is a blend of mango &

ingredients & maximum taste! Go for it when you don’t feel like cooking big
