How do you cut a mango?

I seriously don't know. Cutting a mango seems like so much work to get a tiny bit of fruit. Am I holding it wrong? They're too slippery.

Anyway, last night I made this mango dal and it was really flavorful and delicious! I used green lentils, dried ginger, and and ground cumin instead of seeds. I also punked out on using that much cayenne. It turned out spicy, but not too spicy...I probably could have added the whole amount. The mangoes were such a perfect part of this dish! They were sweet with a little bit of tang. YUM. Next time I'll add a third mango, or maybe learn how to cut them better so I get all the goodness off the core.


We put the dal over rice with cooked carrots on the side. I just had the leftovers for lunch and it was just as good! You could put it in a tortilla and pack it for a portable lunch, too. Next time I might make a double batch, but then again, Kyle definitely does not need any more food from the bean family. Speaking of...I'm making another lentil dish for dinner tonight. Sorry, world.
