Masala mavinakayi chitranna - Karnataka style

Masala mavinakayi chitranna is Karnataka style rice item prepared using raw mangoes. It tastes sour, spicy, super tasty and flavorful. I already shared Andhra style mango rice/ mavidikkaya annam recipe, lots of difference between Andhra style & Karnataka style mango rice. The main taste of Karnataka style mango rice depends on the masala powder we prepare. I always prefer to use fresh masala, you can use readily prepared masala in order to saves lots of time. Just like puliyogare paste we can also prepare masala mavinakayi gojju, if this gojju is ready we can prepare this mango rice in jiffy. Generally we use fresh coconut to prepare masala, if you are planning to store this gojju for long time then use dry coconut, but its taste vary a bit. I paired this rice with simple jeera masala potato fry .

Event : Shhhhh Secretly cooking challenge

Taking this flavorful rice item to "Shhhhh Secretly cooking challenge" fb group started by Priya, and taken further till date by Mayuri di ND Renu. I liked curried chickpea stuffed sweet potatoes recipe shared by Mayuri di. I also saved Renu's steamed broccoli vadi recipe to try soon. We completed recipes from all states from A to Z, so now admin team and members decided a new interesting way for monthly theme that is - one group member in alphabetical order will suggest theme. Later admin team will pair interested members, then we share 2 secret ingredients among us and prepare recipe using it and all other members will guess it.
