Showing its True Colors - Green Mango Dal
Brilliant in flavor and color, a sour and spicy
dal is a curative comfort against the winter blahs.

Masoor Dal (Red Split Lentils)
Arhar Dal with Green Mango - from the Indian Food Forever recipe found here
(Since I followed the recipe to the letter without any deviations, I have not rewritten it for this post.)
Red and green chiles, and curry leaves are even more
vivid when sizzled in a ghee-rich tadka. Ladle generously
over fragrant bowls of steaming basmati rice.

That mango daal looks as authentic an Indian's! I make it with toor daal, though. Haven't come across a masoor-mango daal. Love the talimpu (tadka) on top!
Kairi ki dal looks superb! You must be pretty adventurous seeing the range of cuisine:) Thank you for participating in FIC! Masoor is my favorite legume for its lovely flavor!!
Whoa!! What a gorgeous color. I love Turmeric when it's freshly ground from dry roots, vibrant color and such beautiful aroma! Good one Susan, you are officially a Indian now! ;D
An almost sacred shade of yellow. I've had fresh turmeric before, small fingers with extraordinary aroma, but hand-ground?
What a gift.
Gorgeous colors! And very appealing flavors.
That looks a really beautiful dish Susan. Nice photos too :)
Such stunning photos, Susan! And the dal does sound delicious (though I can never seem to find curry leaves. . .).
This sounds very good! I need to be more adventerous with cuisines.
I love the brighgt yellow in your first image.
love all the brillant colours of yellow, red & green in this one ^O^
I want to buy a print of that first dhal photograph to frame and put in my kitchen. I am serious.
Thank you for such a lovely entry Susan, the colours seem to come out live!
Whoa, the colors pop right out of the screen. Such lovely pictures :)
Such vivid colors, lovely dal
Give me some naan bread with a medium spiced dal and I'm one happy camper. Love it!
Brilliant photo...
Harini - Thanks. Oh, yes, I am a very adventurous cook/eater, although I am not an omnivore.
Sra - Thank you. This recipe really came out well. The flavor and texture was exactly what I had been striving for. Loved the talimpu, too. I fried a few eggs in what was left over in the skillet - delicious.
Wendy - Green mangoes are supposedly just unripe ones, but the ones I tried in my regular grocer did not taste right - had to go to an Indian grocer. I suspect it has to do with the variety.
Asha - It's official! ; } Thanks!
Thank you, Meg. This is almost fat free and could be made with a little oil rather than butter.
Lucy - I've seen the rhizomes, but never cooked with them. It's amazing how the rather orange-y powder turns brilliant yellow when added to liquid. I had to desaturate the first dal photo just a bit; it was that blazing.
Thank you, Simona.
Holler - Thanks so much.
Hi, Maris! Thank you.
Thanks, Ricki. The dal really was good. You'd need to go to an Indian grocer for the curry leaves; they are nearly impossible to find fresh elsewhere. Dried leaves are a very faded and poor substitute.
Thanks, Snooky Doodle! Lentils are pretty easy to cook, so you should gain confidence quickly. Perhaps start with a soup...
Dragon - Thanks! : }
Wiffy - Thank you...and they are all truly, naturally those colors - no Photoshop.
Cynthia - You flatter me! Thanks!
Srivalli - Thank you. This dal had FIC written all over it. ; D
Suganya - Thanks. Yes, the colors pop just like the mustard seeds in the tadka popped all over the kitchen! : D Think I'm going to use the splatter screen from now on.
Chuck - Thanks. Naan works, too. It's a perfect scooping utensil. I love how the bread's blisters fill with sauce. Hmmmm...now I want some.
Sandeepa - So good to see you! Thanks, dear girl.
SB - Welcome! Thanks so much!
Oh wow - that looks incredibly good! I LOVE dal and am definitely bookmarking this one!
Really beautiful dish with photo, Susan.
Love the vibrant colors. If I have only one complaint about turmeric, it's that it stains all my silicone utensils yellow :)
