Mangodi is a type of sun dried grinned lentil with spices originally from the state of Rajasthan in India, a very unique cooking ingredient.
I am guessing that it was created mainly because of the dry weather at the region and lack of fresh vegetables and food source during some of the months in the state, that caused the people there to think of ways to preserve food when it was available, often time drying the food and pickled them is the ways to go ...
