Agree completely about the mish mash of cultures this weirdly British production has come up with. Considering that they ruled India for over two centuries, the ignorance of cultural nuances is so shocking it makes me want to laugh. That said, in the current political scenario, maybe this is an aspirational India without borders of language, caste and so on. Btw, while Sharma is a common surname in the North, there are south Indian Sharmas too - i know a few - completely S. Indian! And i LOVE mango rice!
Chandrika, do you peel the mangoes, or separate the mango from the skin in chunks the way you'd cut a ripe mango? Or does the skin get blended into the mix? --In news of the Cultural Ironies of Sylva, I should have absolutely no trouble getting hard, green, sour mangoes from Ingles; it's the ripe ones that are hit or miss. :-)
