Raw Mango Rasam

Raw mangoes are used in Indian cooking such as pickles, pulihora. Here we are playing with raw mango.my friend called me and wanted me to try this rasam. I like to share it with you all. It is actually a tangy and tasty rasam. I like anything prepared with raw mango. Mango which otherwise called as “KING OF ALL FRUITS”, can be eaten either raw or cooked. It tastes awesome when the raw ones are eaten with garam spices

2. Pressure cook the toor dal in the one bowl, raw mango and tomato in another bowl. Leave 2 whistles. Once when it gets cooled down, remove the pulp from the mango and place aside. Mash the dal with ladle along with the water and tomato. Mix both the mango and toor dal together in a bowl. 

3. In a pan, add the seasonings followed by the rasam powder,haldi, jeera powder, coriander powder, salt, jaggery, green chillies.let it boil until raw smell is gone. Now pour the mango dal mixture in the pan and stir occasionally. Add some more water for its consistency. It will tend to become thick.
