Childhood days are so special,when I look back to my childhood days,all I remember is affection and cares of my parents,grand-parents and other dear relations.Today,I am on a nostalgic trip to my school days , where weekends inevitably meant a visit to my maternal uncle's house and spending the entire day with cousin brothers and grandparents amidst fun and frolic.And,to top it all were the lip smacking cuisines made by my mami (maternal aunt). I was very close to my aunt and I remember how I used to sit by her side in the evening and she would tell me fairy tales-tales of prince and princesses ,and stories of ghost. She was also a pioneer in our family in broadening our palates from the traditional bengali dishes to gastronomic delights from all across the globe. I especially enjoyed the flavored rices like lemon and Mango Rice and the sweets and savouries cooked by her with great care and precision. Immensely nutritious and equally tasty we would always ask for more helpings.
So,here I am today sharing this recipe of Mango Rice as a tribute to my aunt exemplary culinary skills and of course to the memories of the fun filled and carefree days of childhood.
Mango Rice is a south Indian Recipe and I have been making this for the last 2 years and the original notes have undergone changes with every time I made these. If you love south Indian Lemon rice,then you will love this too.
