    Talking about Toker Dal, the recipe I am going to share as part of this post calls for Kancha Aam and Masoor Dal. However, Tok Dal can be prepared with Arhar Dal or Motor Dal as well and instead of green mangoes, other souring agents such as Amra aka Hog plum can also be used.

    %Toker Dal

    This dal is quite common in Bengali households during the summer. We, in general, make it light with limited spices and almost runny. This lentil soup is dominated by the flavor of green mango and also by the goodness of it. Going by the climatic conditions on both sides of Bengal, people here prefer to eat and drink summer-friendly dishes during the summer. These dishes nourish their body and soul and also dehydrate them. This particular Lentil soup prepared with green mango caters to all these summer needs and is hence popular in Bengali households. Moreover, it tastes amazing.

    Notes

    • You may increase or decrease mangoes based on how sour you want the dal. For 100g Lentil; 1-2 mangoes work fine.
    • You can add a few green chilies as well.
    • Some people add ginger as well, however, I prefer the tok dal as simple as possible and dominated with the flavor of green mangoes.
    • Increase or decrease the sugar based on your need. You can skip it altogether as well.
