Juicy & Purple Vilad mangoes! Desserts & easy Mango rice were surprisingly delicious| Traditional Me

Usually, in our village, ’Dankotuwa’, as a traditional practice, farmers sow the paddy fields in the month of November. But lately, it’s been raining continuously and now farmers do not care for the old practice of the usual tradition in the month of November but they sow the fields whenever they feel like it. Our older aunt’s fields were harvested sometime back. So they started to sow their fields now. During the sowing and the harvested seasons, my brother, myself and grandmother get very busy. It’s a tradition to send the morning and the afternoon meals to the field as well as to send some tiffin for the evening tea as well. Early in the morning. I went to pluck some mangoes as I am going to be very busy in the afternoon. All the newly planted Vilad mango trees were heavy with mangoes in the ancestral home garden. To walk through the early morning cold misty climate, on the dew drops-soaked fresh grass to pick those mangoes was a fabulous experience. The dew drops glistening, purple-coloured Vilad mangoes were a truly beautiful sight to see. Most of the mangoes were half-ripened and some of them had begun to ripe almost ready to pluck. I was amazed to see the large quantity of mangoes which I had plucked at the end though it was not my intention. The time is passing so fast, that I got late in sending the morning meals to the field. Unlike the usual meals that have been sent by every household, I always made sure to send unusual meals to the farmers who were working in our fields. The previous night we discussed and decided to send a tasty mango rice for the next day’s bteakfast. Adding half-ripened mangoes to this delicious rice gives an authentic taste which is very familiar to us, as well as a novel experience for them. Since I was late to come back home, my brother had prepared the morning rice and left home for the fields on time. It was our elder aunt’s turn to provide lunch for the people who had been working in the fields. So I got a little break to make this delicious mango kavum(Fried Nango Balls) by using the 4 ripened mangoes which I plucked that morning. Our brother is so greedy to eat mango kavum. Yes, the correct word for his love for this mango kavum is nothing but greediness! This sweet is not exactly an oil cake but has more of a miniature cake kind of texture because of the eggs in the recipe. You get a divine taste when you bite into every tiny piece of mango in them. All the mangoes were fully ripened at once after two days. It was very good that all the mangoes were ripened at once without getting ripened batch by batch. Otherwise, our brother’s visits to the kitchen will surely be very frequent too! Since the mangoes were ripened naturally, right in the tree, the divine taste, the beautiful colours and the fragrance were spot on. I decided to make a new dish out of these amazing Vilad mangoes. Even though I had prepared the mango pulp and the small rice balls before, it was the first time that I made a dessert with these multi-coloured pearls with different designated tastes in each pearl. Our dear brother of course was dismayed when he saw the dessert and said that they were truly look like pearls. When grandmother was also fascinated by the taste, it made me so overwhelmed. Since there are many mangoes left at home, I decided to make this dessert again soon and send some to my elder aunt’s house as well. Love you All!
