Mamidikaya Pappu ( Raw Mango Dal)

Dals  are so good and so high in protien, it's staple food of Indians especially southern part of India where our main meals include Rice and dal , main lentils that we use here is Toor dal / Masoor dal / Moong dal . It's my fav soul food too and I tend to bring in so many variations and I always blog the one which tastes amazing and is the true winner.
