Khatti Dal | Tangy Lentil Curry | Hydrabadi Khatti dal is a delicious recipe for split pigeon or Arhar dal. A Step-by-Step picture recipe. Its tangy flavor comes from raw mango. Tempered with chana dal, dry red chili, mustard seeds, and curry leaves.

khatti dal recipe

 

It’s called ‘ Khatti Dal’ due to the flavor of raw mangoes added while boiling. Some people add Tamarind instead of Raw mango. But I like raw mango flavor better. I even add a little Jaggery to balance the flavor. But it’s optional. You can alter the amount of raw mango as per preference. If you are ok with too tangy, then add 1 full raw mango plus add a little jaggery to balance if you like.
