About

With this dish, the bigger and greener the mango, the better. When mangoes are unripe or underripe, they impart a fresher fragrance than their softer, sweeter counterparts. This dahl is all about that fresh fragrance, and is further enhanced by the elegance of the green beans combined with the young fruit.
