This space has been silent for a very long time, much longer than intended. I haven't got my blogging mojo back as yet but I will still manage a post once in a while. Also,it's been so long since I wrote something, I have a major writer's block & I seem to have nothing much to say :)
Summer is here & so are the Mangoes. And along with it comes loads of mango based dishes. This Raw Mango Dal is easily one of my favorite summer recipes.
My Neighbour makes a killer Mango Dal & this recipe is hers. I have of course tweaked it a little to suit outr taste buds. The only change I have made is the addition of garlic which in my opinion takes this dish to a different level
You Will Need:
- 1 Raw Mango
- 1 cup Tuvar Dal
- 2 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 4-5 cloves of Garlic - finely chopped
- Salt as per taste
- Fresh Coriander for garnish
To Temper:
- 1 tablespoon Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 2 Dry Red Chilies - Broken
How To:
Peel the skin & dice the mangoes & set aside. Pressure cook Toor Dal with a tsp of cooking oil & turmeric along with diced mangoes. Let the pressure drop. once cool, give it a gentle mash. Add 1 cup of water, red chilli powder & some salt & bring to a boil. Add more water if required to bring it to a pouring consistency. Simmer on low flame for 5 mins.
Heat Ghee in a small pan. Temper with cumin seeds along with chopped garlic & dry red chillies. Pour over dal & garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
Serve with warm steamed Rice.
