MAMIDIKAYA PAPPU
This is the season for raw mangoes and we find them in plenty in the market nowadays. We make a variety of dishes using raw mangoes including pickles and sundal. Today's dish is a dal cooked in the Andhra style which is called Mamidikaya Pappu or Raw Mango Dal in Telugu.
We liked the tanginess of the raw mango in the dal (which is generally of a thick consistency) complemented by the garlic seasoning which gave this dish a distinctive taste.
The recipe for this dish of raw mangoes and dal was adapted from Mamidikaya Pappu from the popular blog, Sailu's Kitchen.
We loved it and I hope you will like it as much as we did!
