Kairichi Daal

Ingredients:
Chaana Daal                   2 cups
Shredded Raw Mango     1/2 cup
Sugar                             1 tea spoon
Green Chillies                  6-7
Shredded coconut          3 table spoon
Red chili powder 
Turmeric powder
Asafetida
Salt to taste
Cilantro for garnishing

For Tadaka: 
Oil                                 1 table spoon
Mustard seeds

Procedure:
Soak chana dal for 4-5 hours. Drain the water completely from dal and wash once more with water before using. This ensures dal does not stink. Coarsely grind the dal with green chilies. Now Take a big bowl and mix dal, grated raw mango, grated coconut, asafetida, salt & sugar. You can substitute raw mango with lemon juice.
Make a tempering of the tadka ingredients. Let the tadaka cool down and then pour it on the mixture and mix well. Serve it with garnishing of coconut and coriander.
