Aam dal

Aam dal is a traditional dish originating from India, made with mango and pigeon peas as key ingredients. Besides mango and pigeon peas, the dish also contains dry red chili peppers, turmeric, mustard oil, and mustard seeds. The peas are cooked in water, then mixed with salt and turmeric powder. The mustard seeds and chili peppers are tempered in mustard oil, and the mango pieces are added to the mix and sautéed until light brown. The combination is mixed with the peas, and the stew is simmered for a few more minutes before serving. Aam dal is often accompanied by steamed rice on the side. If desired, the dish can be garnished with chopped coriander.
