3 Spices - Mango Lentil / Bengali Aam Tok Daal

Bengali Aam er Tok Dal or Kacha Aam Daal is another exclusive lentil dish which is way different from rest of Indian cuisines. Tok dal literally means sour lentil in bengali; tok means sour and dal is lentil. This lentil soup is salty with right hit of tanginess. This is not only delicious but also high in nutrition. Aam Dal has all the flavours and goodness of mango but minus the heat from raw mango. This recipe is a delicacy of my mother. #3 spices - mustard seed, dry red chilli, turmeric powder #cplfinal #zafran
