Combination of that piquant flavor of Raw mangoes goes good with the nutty flavor of lentils.
An easy and nutritious side dish with steaming hot Rice.
Original recipe from sailusfood.com- blog
Ingredients
Toor Dal / split Pigeon pea - 1/2 cup
Raw Mango - 1/2 cup (peeled and chopped)
Onion - 1 medium
Green chili's - 2 to 3 no's slit
Tomatoes - 1 medium (Optional )
Ginger - 1 tsp chopped
Salt to taste
Water - 1 to 2 cups depending on how thick you want it to be) I used less
For seasoning / Tadka
Oil - 2 Tb sp (vegetable oil)
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Garlic - 3 to 4 no's chopped
Dry Red chili's - 2 to 3 crushed (optional)
Curry Leaves - 2 springs - I didn't have :(
Method
* Pressure cook dal with all the other ingredients (other than for seasoning) until 2 whistle's heard.
If not using a pressure cooker , soak dal for sometime (half an hour) and cook with enough water till nicely done. cooker as always saves time :)
* Heat oil in a pan , pop mustard seeds and cumin seeds , add then garlic , red chili's and curry leaves saute for a few seconds and pour this tadka /seasoning to the cooked dal/Lentil mixture.
* Add salt , and adjust water as you wish , may add more water to make it thin or boil for some more time till its thick in consistency.
*Serve hot with Rice or chapathi /Indian bread , they have it with rice though.
Only after coming to US , I could see some of nature's wonder's like snow - which we never have in south India , and also Hailstones - though we have it , its rare and I have never seen it in my place , we had it here yesterday....enjoyed it as we enjoy rain in our place ...
louder than that usual heavy rain that we have in Kerala.
Need to improve in photography I know :)
Notes :
If the Mango is not sour , the curry may not come out well , hence try this curry with sour mangoes.
Other alternative is to add some lime juice after switching off the heat.
Cheers
