Mangodi Aloo Sabzi Recipe | Moong Dal Vadi Curry Recipe

I have grown up eating and relishing mangodi ki sabzi. Mangodis are small dumplings that are made with moong dal and spices and dried in the sun. Once dried in this manner, you can store them for a few weeks easily. My mum would make mangodis from scratch but being lazier I prefer to buy them from other home cooks or stores. These dumplings are tasty and nutritious as they are lentil based and making a curry with potatoes brightens many of my lunches.

Here’s the easy recipe of mangodi sabzi:
