PROCEDURE:

1.     Take a utensil, place it on the stove and ON the stove.

2.     Add oil and mustard seeds (tip: If you scared of oil just like me, 1st add the oil and mustard seeds and keep a lid on it, then on the stove, wait for like 1-2 minutes till the mustard seeds sputters, remove the lid and continue the procedure).

3.     Now add the curry leaves and green chilly, wait for a minute.

6.     Now add the boiled dal to this and wait for 2-3minutes.

7.     Then add the chilly powder, salt to it and chopped raw mango pieces and seeds of mangoes.

(we have added 3 mangoes here, because we like mango pieces, you can mangoes as per your taste, we recommend to add 2-3 mangoes. We added the mangoes in this step so that the mango pieces will be a bit crunchy, tangy and sour)

( If you just a single mango, you can add it to the oil while adding the green chilly, so that you will have that sour taste with just one mango)

8.     Add 1 and 1/2 glass of water. ( you can add more water based on the consistency of dal you want)

9.     Let it cook for 5-7minutes on medium stove. (you can see the appearance like the picture below).
