Well I've been a bit busy last week with relatives from India and we had gone sight seeing and all that, so didn't find time to really put in some recipes, though I've been cooking a lot last week for the guests. One of the recipes that I made last week was the typical south-indian rice the way my mom used to make, we call it maavinkaayi anna. In mango season, mom used to make all kind of dishes that include mango and this was one of my favorites. Me and my brothers used to finish all the rice before evening. Sorry couldn't click pics, but will try to put in on the blog next time I make the rice. Anyways, the recipe is on the way for now.
