Raw Mango Dal Recipe

Raw Mango Dal Recipe is a classic Andra dish made of yellow lentils cooked with unripe tangy mango pieces and some spices made on stove top or instant pot pressure cooker.This dish is also known as Mamidikaya Pappu ie Mamidikaya means ‘Mango’ and Pappu means ‘Dal’ in Telugu.

I have shared both Stove Top Pot & Instant Pot Pressure Cooker version.

You will see lot of recipes saying cook raw mango along with dal in the pressure cooker (raw mango gets mushed in the dal) and then add the tempering but i like mango bites in the dal,so i prefer making this way.
