Optional - Can use coriander leaves and grated coconut at the end to garnish. Can use groundnuts / Peanuts for seasoning if needed. Ensure to cool the rice before mixing the rice with tempering. Rice breaks easily when it is hot & the whole dish becomes sticky. Check the sourness of the raw mango. Indian small raw mangoes would be very sour. When using them, add a little less than 1 mango for ...
