Mango Coconut Rice Recipe

Mango Coconut Rice Recipe with step by step photos and video. A super simple and quick rice to pack for lunch to school or office.

Rice that is full of tropical flavors and zing. This is vegan, gluten free and this mango coconut rice combines the best of both worlds – Raw mango rice & coconut rice in my book.

I don’t generally make any New Year Resolutions but this year I made one especially where blogging is concerned. And it was to attempt my hand at taking videos. Finally it happened as I pushed myself to do it.

Though I took this video 2 months ago, it just stayed in the SD card as life happened. I must say that I’m totally in love with editing. It was super fun, till I got accustomed to it.

I had zero knowledge when it comes to video editing, so it was a definitely a major learning curve for me. I really hope it is not that bad as I fear and I’m sure you friends will let me know how it is.

My children do not like coconut rice, I think they are white color challenged when it comes to food.

My younger one loves mango rice but since he is undergoing some dental procedures, he finds eating or drinking anything sour triggers his teeth sensitivity. So I included coconut to the recipe and it not only reduced the sourness of mango rice but also gave the rice more volume and good texture.

He loved it when I packed it to school for his lunch. The sourness of the mango will also prevent the rice from spoiling quickly in this oppressing heat despite the fact that we have added coconut to make this rice whenever we pack it for lunch to office or school.
