Mango daal – Pigeon peas cooked with raw mango and Indian spices
Mango Daal- Tuvar /Arhar daal is the favorite daal of my community. This Tuvar daal and rice combo is served on a regular basis for lunch ,though moong and masoor daals are used in between to change the taste and to add some variety,but arhar/tuvar daal is preferred any time.I have also posted that- tuvar daal Up style
I always use lemon juice to add sourness in tuvar daal but during summer season when raw mangoes are easily available I use raw mangoes instead of lemon juice. This mango wali daal goes very well with steamed rice and roti ,a spoon ful of melted ghee on top and it taste wonderful.
My mother makes the best tuvar daal,so today I am sharing my mothers recipe of making mango tuvar daal
