Notes
- You can use only toor dal or only masoor or equal quantities of both. If using another dal, the cooking time may vary.
- I suggest to add mango to the lentils you will use up within the day. Storing lentils with mango added will change the flavor. It is okay to cook the lentils to refrigerate, and add mango when you are ready to consume it.
- If using unripe mango, then add it along with the lentils when pressure cooking. Increase the pressure cook time to 5 mins and no simmering required later.
