Maangai pachadi - Raw Mango & Toor dal curry

I am very very Happy that i won my first blog prize in gayathris WTML event and its a sanjeev kapoors cook book.This event has been running for 2 years and last month event was conducted by asiya.Many thanks gayathri and asiya .

Coming to the curry .I love mangoes. It is a tasty and nutritious fruit. When we were kids we used to eagerly await the mango season. We would have mangoes in some form or the other almost everyday during season. My mom used to make sweet mango and sour mango (maangai ) pachadi. I simply love both curries.

 My Hubby is not a fan of sweet pachadi. I tried hot mango curry after a long time  and it it was really delicious. My little one loved it very much.
