Notes
Make sure to cook the dal and raw mango well.
Suggestions: Make sure dal is perfectly cooked before adding cooked mango for dal doesn’t cook once mango is added. Add fresh chopped green chiles to tempering for more spice.
Variations: Alternatively, mango pieces and toor dal can be cooked separately in a sauce pot with boiling water. Chopped onion can also be added along with the tempering.
