Mango rice preparations is much similar to the lemon rice but will be with mango’s sour taste added coz of raw mango prepared in tamilnadu style. My friend advised me not to make any dishes with onions on Varalakshimi Nonbu and I decided to make this. So this rice don’t have onions, but if needed they can be added.
