Mamidikaya Pesarapappu pachadi - Mango Moong dal chutney

The Mamidikaya Pesara pappu Pachadi is a special andhra style raw mango moong dal chutney which is an excellent one to take along with steamed rice and ghee  or it is excellent to take along dosa or idli;  Most of the Andhra people like to take pachadi with steamed rice and a spoonful of ghee. If you visit any Andhra restaurant, you are sure to be served with some kind of pachadi or podi as part of thali meal.   This Mamidikaya pesara pappu pachadi can be served along with Dosa, Upma or Idli to enjoy morning breakfast.  Today I am sharing the traditional chutney made with raw mango and moong dal which is a typical summer recipe and made during the mango season.  Mango pesara pappu pachadi is a healthy chutney which is rich in proteins, Vitamin C, anti oxidants and nutrients.
