Magic Masoor Dal

Here in this recipe I cooked whole masoor dal( red lentil ) with raw mango to give it a tangy taste.Believe me just give it a try once and you are going to make it again and again.It goes well even with plain rice.

Turmeric pw 1/2 tsp

Raw mango 1 small

Garam masala 1/2 tsp

Red Chili pw 1 tsp

Salt

Ghee 1 tbsp

Cumin seeds 1 tsp

Asafoetida 1 pinch

Onion 1 small

Garlic 2-3 pods

Method

1. Wash and soak dal for 15 minutes.Peel and cut mango in small pieces.Now pressure cook dal with 3 cups of water,salt,mango pieces and turmeric powder till the dal is cooked.

2. In a pan heat ghee and add cumin seeds,asafoetida.When the seeds crackle add chopped garlic and onions.Fry till golden in colour.

3. Add dal with all the spices and check the consistency.If required add some water.

Note: If you don't have raw mango use dry mango powder.
