1. Contributor: Pranvi R .....
Mango dal - first boil toor dal in a pressure cooker.. peel the skin of mango.. cut into small ( not very small) cubes , wash, sprinkle lil water and cook in mmicrowave.. nenu toor dal pressure cooker lo pettetappude aa paina oka chinna bowl lo ee mamidikaya mukkalu kooda pettesta... koncham methaga avutayi mukkalu... thts ok for us.. some ppl don't like the mango pieces to be mushy.. they like them as it is... if u also want the mango pieces to hold their shape and still be cooked... cook it in microwave..

now in a pan, take oil and when it is hot.. do the tempering with urad, jeera, mustard, curry leaves, hing, dry red chillies and few slit green chilles.... (u can also add garlic pods if u want) once they are done... add lil turmeric and mix and to it add the boiled mango pieces... mix well and now add chilli powder .... let it boil for 2mins and add the cooked toor dal .... mix all well and add salt.... let it boil for another 2-3mins... adjust the consistency by adding water... I usually retain the water from the mango's and use it in the end... finally add chopped coriander leaves

NOTE : if the mago is not sour enuf... u can add lil tamarind juice
