Mango Dhal Recipe (Manga Paruppu Kadayal)

A simple mango dhal served with steam cooked rice is so satisfying. This dish is so easy to prepare it hardly took 20 minutes from start to finish. 

We use totapuri mango in many southindian dishes, for this recipe I have used a raw totapuri mango. Semi ripe and ripe mangoes are used in savory dishes.
