Dal (Indian lentil stew) prepared with raw mango is an Andhra specialty. The mango takes the place of tomatoes, tamarind or lemon juice, and it imparts a delicate tartness and a wonderful raw mango flavor that goes really well with savory stews and dishes.
There are many ways to prepare this simple dish. As with most dals, you can either cook the lentils and then stir fry the other ingredients and then add them to the lentils, or you can take an easier, faster route and just cook most ingredients together, and then lightly season. This mango pappu makes an awesome comfort food at the end of a long day.
