I always keep some mangodi at home as it comes in handy when I’m short of vegetables and want to make a main course. Mangodi, made from moong dal, can be made at home or purchased from the market. It can be used to make various dishes like mangodi aaloo, etc. Today I mixed it with some fresh methi leaves to make Methi Mangodi Pulao. The pulao turned out just great and all in the family had a nice lunch with raita and achaar on the side. Enjoy it for your next lunch or dinner.
