Raw Mango (Mangai) Sambar

Raw mango sambar is my favorite one which goes well with rice and I love to have it with dosa too. In this recipe, I have added the tempering ingredients at last as it'll enhance the taste of the sambar.I normally don’t like sour taste in sambar and so I remove the raw mango after the sambar is fully cooked.

Sambar is a South Indian curry recipe which is made with lentils and vegetables. If you leave the mango in the sambar longer its taste will spread evenly through the sambar it gives you a very strong sour taste.
