Step-by-Step Instructions for Mango Lime Rice
- Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold running water until it runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Combine the rinsed basmati rice with 1¾ cups of water or vegetable broth and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
- Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff gently with a fork.
- Dice 1 ripe mango into small cubes, zest one lime, and juice it.
- In a large bowl, combine fluffy rice, diced mango, lime zest, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally garnishing with lime wedges and extra cilantro.

Notes
Rinsing the rice helps prevent stickiness. Keep mango separate until serving for the best texture.
