Tangy lentils made with green mango is a quintessential Bengali summer delight. It is a must in every Bengali household. It is generally made with Masoor Dal (Red Lentil) or Matar Dal (yellow split peas) but I make it with Toor daal (split pegion peas). Every household has their recipe of tok daal. I'll share the one that i learnt from my mum and I find this to be the best. Tok daal is one of my most favorite item to eat during summer. Plus it requires few ingredients and very less time to cook making it a desirable recipe for summer.
