Raw Mango Dal is dish of yellow lentils cooked with unripe mango pieces. The tangyness of raw mangoes gives a delicious flavor to the lentils. You can serve it with any of your favourite rice recipes. Here is how to make mango dal recipe at home.
Lentil recipes are very good for health. And if you add a few seasonal ingredients like raw mango, chopped onions along with green chilies or red chilli then you are up for you a treat. And if raw mangoes are available then the first thing that you must make is this Raw Mango Dal even before Aam Panna.
An inherently simple lentil recipe to try, Mango Dal has the earthy flavour of split yellow peas, raw mangoes and the choicest of spices. We also simmer it with the “tadka” of cumin seeds, red chilli, mustard seeds. Hence, it turns all the more lip-smacking.
Furthermore, it has this nice thickness and slight tanginess. So, you can practically serve this dal with rice of any variety. Be it just the steamed one or even Jeera Rice.
I relish the various preparations made using the raw mangoes which kind of subtle the sourness a bit yet retaining the typical flavor. Raw Mango Dal Recipe or Kacche Aam ki dal is one of those recipes.
Very gently flavored with the mangoishness, this dal is one of my favorite recipes. Arhar or Tuvar ki Dal is cooked with slices of raw mangoes and then a tadka of cumin seeds, heeng, and red chilli is given.
You could relish Mango dal recipe or Kacche Aam ki Dal with rice or phulke or if you are like me, you will make a meal of it, sipping spoon after spoon of piping hot dal.
