Instructions
Prepare the Dal

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Raw Mango Dal:
- Choose the Right Mango: Select a raw, firm mango for the best tangy flavor. Avoid mangoes that are overripe or soft.
- Adjust Spice Levels: Feel free to adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness. Start with less and add more to taste.
- Enhance the Flavor: For a richer flavor, you can sauté the grated mango with a little oil before adding it to the pressure cooker.
- Garnish Generously: A generous garnish of fresh coriander leaves adds a vibrant pop of color and freshness to the dal.
