I think this mango rava upma should be best when paired with coconut chutney. I had it as such though. You have to add more chillies to balance the tanginess so that it does not overpower the other tastes. We are cooking mangoes first and adding semolina to it and cook together so that the mango flavour and taste blends in the procedure.
