Know about the Recipe :
Rayalaseema, a region in Andhra Pradesh, is well known for the spiciest delicacies. The cuisine is very famous for unique flavours, hot & spicy tastes, fresh aromas and superb dishes. I am the native of Kurnool, a district in Rayalaseema region. As many villages in our district are very near to Karnataka, our culture is highly influenced by Karnataka and the recipes we prepare are the mixture of both regions.
I would like to introduce some traditional and authentic Rayalaseema recipes we specially cook and serve as Naivedyam to God during festivals. These specials include Bhakshyalu, Chitraannam, Alugadda Vepudu (Aloo Fry) and Bhakshyala Charu (made with Boiled Chana Dal water).
Let me start the feast with Chitraannam today. Chitraannam is a very famous dish in Rayalaseema and Karnataka, prepared during festivals. It is called as Nimmakaya Pulihora in Andhra and also called as Lemon Rice made using cooked rice, lemon juice which gives a superb sourness and awesome tangy flavour and peanuts give an additional taste to this colourful rice.
Today I am using Raw Mango for sourness and preparing MANGO CHITRAANNAM. Started the dish by sauteeing mustard seeds, jeera, urad dal, chana dal and peanuts in refined oil. When peanuts half fried, added long slit green chillies, mint leaves, curry leaves and coriander leaves. Mint leaves give a fresh and awesome aroma while sauteing. Finally added grated Raw Mango and saute little. When peanuts and other ingredients are fried well, added cooked rice and mixed well till all the mixture blends well with rice. My Mango Chitraannam got ready now.
I am presenting this delicious recipe with step-by-step photos and also posting the recipe making video. Please check the recipe and try this awesome traditional recipe today. Its simple, easy, super quick and ideal lunch box recipe. Try it now and enjoy the traditional and authentic Rayalaseema "Mango Chitraannam".
