Aloo Mangodi ki Sabzi is a popular Rajasthani dish. It is ideal to pair with steamed rice or chapati. It is a semi-dry side dish made using dried nuggets and potato. 

What is Mangodi ?

Mangodi is a dried lentil nugget used in dry lands of Rajasthan. It is usually made of moong or urad dal. The people of Rajasthan make these and store them at home. They use them regularly in cooking sabzis and other dishes. They make a good replacement when vegetables are not easily available during summer.

The lentil is soaked for a couple of hours, it is then made into a paste, seasoned with some spices and it is spread on a sheet in the sun for a couple of days. They are stored and used as and when required.

The first time I had mangodi ki sabzi was  at a Rajasthani city like entertainment place made here. Later, it was during my Jaipur trip I found it commonly in the thali meals.  A few months back, while shopping online, I found these ready made mangodis  and bought a packet of them to try at home.

How to use Mangodi ?

Mangodi can be used in stir fry, curries and pulaos. Here, mangodi is fried in oil to a golden colour. Later, it is cooked along with the potato pieces. They may be crushed and added. As the one I have are small in size, I just added them.
