Mamidikaya Pappu / Raw Mango Dal

Mamidikaya pappu or mango dal is a dal made of toor dal and raw mango. This Andhra style dal is sweet, spicy and tangy, definitely made at least once a week during summer when the raw mangoes are in season. Staying in US for couple of years now, I don't have to wait for summer to get the raw mangoes,  we get them  all over the year. 

Mamidikaya pappu goes to week 2, day 2 of Blogging Marathon 110 under the theme " Dazzling dals".
