   • Begin by gathering your ingredients: red lentils, mango, tomatoes, black mustard seeds, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, cumin powder, onion, canola oil, red chili, ginger garlic paste, and fresh coriander.

2. Heat the Oil and Spices:

   • In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil over medium heat.
   • Add black mustard seeds, cumin seeds, red chilies, and chopped onions to the hot oil.

3. Saute the Aromatics:

   • Stir and sauté the mixture until the onions turn golden-brown, releasing their sweet aroma.

4. Add the Lentils and Spices:

   • Rinse 1 cup of red lentils thoroughly under running water.
   • Add the lentils to the saucepan along with turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, and cumin powder.
   • Mix everything well to coat the lentils with the aromatic spices.

5. Introduce the Tomatoes:

   • Chop 2 tomatoes into small pieces and add them to the saucepan.
   • Stir the mixture, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.

6. Prepare the Mango:

   • Peel the mango, remove the seed, and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
   • Gently drop the mango pieces into the simmering dal.

7. Adjust the Consistency:

   • Depending on your preferred thickness, add water accordingly.
   • Stir the dal well to ensure all ingredients are combined.

8. Pressure Cooking (or Stove Top Simmering):

   • If using a pressure cooker:
     • Close the lid of the pressure cooker and cook the dal on low heat for 8-10 minutes.
     • Allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the cooker.
   • If cooking on the stove top:
     • Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the dal simmer on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

9. Garnish and Serve:

   • Once the dal is cooked to perfection, check for seasoning and adjust if needed.
   • Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves for a burst of fresh flavor.
   • Serve hot with steamed rice or Indian bread of your choice.

Tips:

• For a tangy twist, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
• If you prefer a spicier dal, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add fresh green chilies.
• This dal tastes even better the next day as the flavors have had time to meld together.
