Preparing the Masoor Dal

  • Wash the masoor dal thoroughly. Cook in a pressure cooker with turmeric powder and salt until soft. Add the raw mango slices during the last minute of cooking.

Tempering the Dal

Combining and Serving

  • Add the cooked dal to the pan with the tempering. Mix well and simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with steamed rice or roti.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a smoother dal, you can blend a portion of the cooked dal before mixing it with the tempering.
  • Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. Start with fewer and add more to taste.
  • If you don't have panch phoron, you can substitute with mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
  • Adding a squeeze of lime juice at the end enhances the tanginess and brightens the overall flavor.
