Mamidikaya Pappu/ Mango Dal

Am a great fan of this mavidikaya pappu. .I remember ma childhood days, where amma used to do it on fridays and to offer god with padaiyal and she will do pooja. . She will have a big book of slogas and will start reading. It lasts atleast for 40minutes. . Ma stomach will make crumbling sounds to taste the items in Padyal. .Once amma finishes, its was me to grab a vada n eat it with pappu. .ma god!!!! that will be awesome :)
