Notes:
  1. Take care not to form the lumps after adding the rice mixture.
  2. Add sugar according to the sweetness of the mango.
  3. You can add 1/2 cup of condensed milk instead of sugar to give a nice rich taste.
  4. Few almonds can also be soaked and deskinned and can be added while grinding the rice.
