Wash the mango and cut it into medium-sized cubes.
Wash the toor dal and place it in a pressure cooker. To this, add mango, green chilli, and turmeric powder.
Add 2½ cups of water and give it a mix.
Pressure cook until the dal is well cooked (for 3 whistles). Once the steam comes off, remove the lid.
Lightly mash the dal and add salt. Add more water and adjust the consistency
Place the pressure cooker on high heat and bring it to a boil. Simmer for 5-6 minutes
In the meantime, prepare the tempering. Heat ghee in a small pan and add mustard seeds.
Once they splutter, add dry red chili and cumin seeds.
Add garlic and saute until the garlic is golden. Add hing and curry leaves. Turn off the heat.
Add this tempering to the dal. Add cilantro and mix well. Serve with rice and side dish of your choice.
Make sure you use raw green mangos that have a nice tangy taste. The mangos should be firm when pressed.
I prefer not to peel the mangos before using them. However, you may peel and use the mango.
