This Mango Pappu /mango dal with steamed rice, potato fry, pickles is the best combo. This recipe is little tangier and no need to add tomatoes or tamarind, as mango has to gots its sourness.
I went with frozen mangoes, as Indian raw mangoes are not available here. But frozen mangoes to provide the same taste and flavor and I'm quite happy with it.
Mango's unique interesting flavor beautifully enhances this recipe. Lentils / Dal / Pappu / Paruppu is rich protein content and rich in folic acid. We loved its mashed up the texture and everybody would love who doesn't want to feel the chunks while eating.
This Mango Pappu Recipe is best with steamed rice, and the leftover can also be served as a side for Chapathies along with pickle.
Do Check out this Pineapple rasam recipe also, which makes another combo with the rice.
Looking for other Andhra Recipe, do check tomato Pappu(Lentils with Tomato), another great recipe to be served with rice.
This Mango Pappu is my family's all-time favorite recipe. It's a huge hit in our family not only because of its taste and color but also because of a friendship tied back with this recipe.
It was introduced to us by one of our beloved family friends from Andhra, We all always overwhelmed with their hospitality, their kind-heartedness.
It may sound funny but really this Mamidikkaya Pappu reflects me their happy faces. Food served with lots of affection will double up their taste too right?
