This dhal is a rare combination of Channa dhal and ripe mango. I used Neelam variety mango. Normally we frequently use tur and moong dhals , so this time, I chose channa dhal, which is in no way less as far as protein content is concerned.
Don't think, just because we add mangoes, dhal will be too sweet. Not at all. Just that the flavor of mango had fully seeped in there, the softly cooked mango pieces just melt in your mouth.
This is certainly a summer delight, pardon me for my slightly delayed post.
