Hello Everyone...

We Indians as much love our plain dal, we have infinitely different ways to make it more flavorful and delicious, love that equally. Every family has their own family recipe to cook all lentils and we keep trying all other variety of recipes to give these lentils lovely twists and it includes cooking them with seasonal produce too.

While Dal is getting soaked and cooked, peel and slice the Raw Mango.
