Notes | FAQ

- Use a good raw mango for the recipe. It should be sour with just a tiny bit of sweetness for the perfect mango rice.
- Adjust the quantity of shredded mango based on the sourness of the mango.
- Wash the mango, peel it and then shred it using the large hole of a shredder. Don't go too deep into the mango, there will be a large seed at the center.
- In case using left-over cooked rice, you can add it to the mango mixture at the end and saute for a few minutes in low flame until the rice heats ups.
