Jodhpuri or Jaipuri Mangodi Pulao

This post completes two resolutions, one from here – where I planned to use my Cookbook collection fervently and other from my last post – where I decided to try out the new dishes gobbled up while travelling. I mix-matched a bookmarked recipe from Sanjeev Kapoors – Marwadi Vegetarian Cooking cookbook and the Royal Mangodi Pulao that I had in Jaipur. SK’s Jodhpuri Vegetable Pulao had cauliflower as its main ingredient which I replaced by lovely crispy soft – Mangodis from Jaipur. ;;)

Mangodi was a new ingredient for me, The Foodie bought it as a Marwadi speciality, they are small dried moong dal dumplings . Though we had bought this as a readymade pack, you can try to prepare this @ home, as nicely described by Priya here.

How to use Mangodi in your recipes : Either pressure cook or boil it they they are a bit soft, then fry it till they are golden crispy. Use it in a side-dish sabzi or Pulao as I have done here.

Serve hot with some heated ghee over it :D

The dried dates and raisins make this chunky pulao both soft and sweet – so says SK in his Cookbook, which is quite true.

Sending this to Rice Recipe event for this month. and also to Dish name starting with J event.
