A delicious use for raw mango seeds and an absolute hit at the dinner table, the slow simmered dal is wonderfully aromatic with subtle raw mango flavor! 🙂

You will need…
1 cup masoor washed and pressure cooked for 3-4 whistles with 4 cups water, some salt and 1/2 a tsp of haldi till cooked through…but not mushy. The dal grain should be still whole.

Method:
Transfer the pressure cooked Masoor to a heavy bottomed pot (I used my crockpot). Add the raw mango seeds to the dal.

Now simmer on medium low heat till the dal becomes a rich creamy texture and the mango seeds infuse the dal with their aroma and flavor.

Scoop out the seeds and discard.
