Mango dal and aloo chaat

This is our first real meal that I have cooked in India. I loved every minute of it. The kitchen smelled of mint, coriander, cumin and mangoes.
Aloo Chaat
Dice 3 potatoes into cubes and fry until golden and cooked through. Place potatoes in a bowl and toss with red chilli powder, cumin powder and chaat masala (premix of salt, mango powder, cumin, black pepper,mint leaf, ginger,chilli, caraway,clove, nutmeg, pomegranate seed, coriander and bishop's weed). Add tamarind and mint chutney to taste. I could only find tamarind paste and it did the trick.
Mango Dal
Wash and soak one cup of toorvar dal for one hour. Add salt and 1/2 tsp of tumeric powder. Cook until half cooked. Peel an unripe mango and cut into big chunks and add to the dal. Cook until dal is soft and mango pieces are cooked to a pulp. In a small saucepan heat oil and and fry 1/2 tsp mustard seeds until they splutter. Add in a finely chopped onion and 3 cloves of garlic and fry until brown. Add in red chilli and soem curry leaves. Mix into dal.
So delicious is might be dinner again tonight!
