Tips for making Raw Mango Rice:

1. Check the sourness of the raw mango to balance the spices.
2. We can use left over rice for this recipe. If the rice is freshly cooked, spread the rice in a wide plate and allow it to cool before starting the process. If the rice is very hot, it will become mushy when we mix with the cooked raw mango.
3. Adding fenugreek powder is optional. But it gives a nice flavor.
4. Instead of peanuts we can use cashews.
5. We can also add grated ginger instead of asafoetida.
