I never used to buy Tomatillos till i read somewhere that they have a tangy flavor. I love tangy flavors.
Raw mango Dal is my favorite ,but here in US i hardly find them firm and sour. So decided to give this a try. Moreover i believe in 'Eat Local' ,so this is one in my series of experiments with local veggies.
This became regular at my house now ,as it blends into Dal so well !
Tomatillo Dal :
Tomatillos : 3 or 4 depending on how sour you want your dal
Green chillies : 2 or 3 ( i use thai pepper ,so i use sparing as they are very hot)
curry leaves a few (optional )
Cilantro : handful for garnish
Toor dal 1 cup
Seasoning
1 tsp oil /ghee (ghee is best ,but if you want to go vegan ,use any vegetable oil/sesame oil)
1/2 tsp urad dal
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp jeera (my mom does not add jeera to dals,but i like it)
