Maagayi Pappu

I learned this recipe from my mother in law. I never heard about this before getting married. I know that pappu is made with magayi orugulu (Pickled mango pieces), but never heard of pappu made with maagayi pachadi directly. So, I found this interesting and can be easily made instantly. If you are out of any vegetables to cook dal then you can make this.

Here is the recipe:


1 cup Toor dal
3 tbsp Magayi uragayi
Salt as per taste

For tadka:

1/2 tsp urad dal
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
few curry leaves
a pinch of asafoetida (hing)
1 tsp oil

Wash and pressure cook toor dal with enough water. To the cooked dal add the maagayi uragayi. Taste and adjust salt. Heat oil in a pan add tadka ingredients. When mustard seeds splutter add tadka to dal. Enjoy with hot steamed rice or roti.

Here is a pachadi that I made with maagayi earlier.
