Give me a bowl of dal and pickles, i can survive for many days with them happily, i do prepare varieties of dals with many sort of veggies or simply with a mixed dals, but its has been a long i made some dals with raw mango...I crossed this wonderful looking dal at Prathibha's space long back,which immediately tempted me a lot,finally i tried out her Andhra style mango dal yesterday for our lunch, which i served along with some spicy potatoes, needless to say that we had a wonderful lunch and both dal and spicy potatoes turned out our lunch absolutely divine...This dal goes for totally a quick and easy breezy preparation, i cooked everything in pressure cooker so obviously pressure cooking makes the life easier and helps a lot for quick cooking...I followed the recipe as Prathibha went for and i have to say a big thanks to her for sharing this wonderful Andhra style raw mango dal, am sending this comforting dal to CWF-Toordal guest hosted by Suma,event by Kiran..
