During my childhood days, I heard that Brahmins from Konkan region of Maharashtra used to eat Aamras-Bhaat, i.e. Mango Pulp with Cooked rice. This seemed like a very unusual combination to me. But when I recently visited Tamnak Thai Restaurant in Mumbai, I tasted this recipe and to my surprise, I liked it. I tried this at home and it turned out well. This is an extremely easy and quick recipe that looks like a Five Star Recipe.
