Mango Rice Recipe

Mangoes originated in East India, Burma and the Andaman Islands bordering the Bay of Bengal. Around the 5th century B.C., Mango is called Mangifera indica and is known as 'king of fruit' throughout the world.The Mango tree plays a sacred role in India; it is a symbol of love and some believe that the Mango tree can grant wishes. In India, Mangoes are found in plenty during the summer season. We can make a variety of food using mango and 'Mango Rice' is one such food. I use a lot of chillies to this recipe as mango will give this food a sourness/sweetness.
