Mango Rice

Indians have a special fondness for mangos, especially given this fruit’s sour undertones in naturally spicing up flavors. While this mango rice recipe is a side dish, it can also be served as an entrée by adding golden raisins, grated carrots, and diced cucumbers to step 4.  Recipe Servings: Serves 4
