Upperi Rice with Mango Chamandhy

Call me weird ...but what's banana chips doing in a rice dish???...Well it tags along  with laziness...remember in the previous post I talked abt this other time zone that I just returned from...so I guess the body is a bit confused and taking time to tune itself to the exisiting scenario...

A packet of half eaten banana chips(Upperi) lying unattended on the kitchen deck ....crushed them with my bare hands, WOW! gymming and yoga does help,WINK!
Take some left over plain white rice.

In a skillet, a tbsp of oil , a tsp of mustard and onion were used along with a piece of ginger.Once slightly browned, the chipped banana chips were tossed about with salt and pepper(to taste), Place the rice in the mixture and mix them well.Do not overmix, the chips will get too soggy.That's your simple Upperi Rice.

Half a medium ripe mango along with a handful of grated coconut, a tsp of Jeera(cumin seeds), a bit of ginger, pepper corns,salt,green chilly were all ground together in the grinder with a tsp of water. And that's your mango Chamandhy
