Mango rice (Maamidikaya puliharam)

Mango is one of my favourite fruits. I like it both sweet and sour. I remember eating sour mango all the time when i was in India, with some salt and chillie powder. I am very fond of sour food and so obviously this rice is one of my favourites. We call it maamidikaya puliharam in andhra. I look forward to cooking this rice from summer through fall, when the mangos are at their peak in taste and flavor. In the weekend when i was in the Indian store i managed to get some nice sour mangos, so thought of making it.
Ingredients:
1 cup rice (uncooked)
1 large green mango (grated)
about 8 green chillies
few curry leaves
cilantro
peanuts and
salt

Procedure:
Cook the rice with two cups of water. Remove the lid and let the rice dry a little bit.
Grate the mango using a food processor or any other grater you have.
