Tentul diye Moong Dal / Moong lentil with Tamarind

Moong Dal being my favourite I chose to make it with Tentul or Tamarind. The sour taste alongwith a mango-ginger paste gave the perfect tart taste and I loved it. I usually prefer to do easy recipes

This was one of the easiest recipe and tastiest I must say. Friends, a line of feedback / comments would be highly appreciated
