Lentils with Mustard greens and Green Mango..

This is one of the most simple and delicious dals that I have eaten. Easy to make and finger licking look.

Raw green mango pieces gives it a nice tang, roughly chopped mustard leaves makes it wholesome, and the garlic tempering makes it just complete. Also, I have used Red lentils/Masoor dal, which cooks really fast. Now, can't get better than that rite ? Do try it to see what I mean.

Ingredients

Red Lentils/Masoor Dal - 1/2 cup
Mustard Greens, roughly chopped( excluding the tough stems) - 1 cup
Green mango pieces with skin, cut into big chunks - 1/2 cup (approx. 1/2 of a big size green mango)

Onion, cut into chunks - 1 small

Cumin powder/Jeera powder - 1 tsp

Green Chillies - 5-6

Garlic cloves - 4, finely sliced

Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

Salt - to taste

Oil

Method

- Wash the lentils and pressure cook with the mustard greens, onions, green chillies, salt and enough water for 1 whistle.

- Once done and the pressure drops, transfer the contents from the cooker into a pan, bring to a a boil, add turmeric powder and jeera powder. Add water if needed to adjust the consistency, and adjust salt at this point.

- In a separate small pan, heat oil, add the sliced garlic and fry till it turns light brown.

- Now, pour this over the cooked dal mixture and cover the pan immediately.

- Serve hot with rice or rotis and a side curry.
