Mango Sambar

I like the smell,colour and taste what not.....I love mango.

We have Mango fruit farm back in India.So every time we visit our grand parents home in summer, my granny makes this Mango sambar.She makes so delicious.

Of course copper or clay vessels they use will also add to the taste.I still try to match her.

Its very funny,the snow has not disappeared yet and they predicting more snow stromes ahead.But the mangoes have already come :-).I spoke with my mom the other day.They are still awaiting mangos this year.
