Pressure Cooking the Dal
- In a pressure cooker, combine the rinsed Arhar dal, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, green chilies, chopped tomatoes, grated raw mango, and 2 cups of water.

Preparing the Tempering

Tips for Making Perfect Raw Mango Dal Fry
- Adjust the quantity of raw mango based on the level of tanginess you prefer.
- To make it spicier, increase the amount of green chilies or red chili powder.
- For a richer flavor, you can add an extra teaspoon of ghee while tempering.
- If you do not have a pressure cooker, cook the dal in a pot. It will take longer, so keep checking for doneness.
