Mango Rice

A simple yet my favourite one pot meal is this mango rice. U can make this rice in no time , ofcourse u can use any other veggie ( which gives flavour to the rice when cooked ) rice following the same method . I's so happy to make this rice when VJ said he is gonna eat outside , I know, u guys must be thinking, what ..?! Yep, again the same fact, he hates mango. Before my baby A , I used to make two seperate meals, one for me and the other for VJ , But now, I hardly find time to make one quick set of meal, ohh yeah, he is keeping my hands full, all day.. :) . At the same time I grab every single opportunity to make my tummy happy by making such kinda quickie yet delicous n flavourful meal..
