Mango Rice
Mango rice is also called Puliyodarai, Puliyogare or Pulihora. This is mainly a south Indian dish where “Puli” means sour in most of south Indian languages. Mango can also be replaced with lemon juice or tamarind juice. This is usually served as prasad (a devotional offering made to a god, typically consisting of food that is later shared among devotees) in most of the south Indian temples. This dish is very easy to prepare and can be prepared in 25 minutes. This dish by itself is a complete food hence don’t need any side dish. I prefer this dish when I am travelling because I don’t have to take other dishes like if I take roti, I would also have to pack sabzi or if I take rice I must pack curry, curd etc hence this dish makes perfect lunch box item. We can even prepare the tempering and store them in the fridge, then when we need to prepare just heat the tempering and add cook rice. If we have both cooked rice and tempered sauce ready then we can prepare this dish in couple of mins.
