Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Tuvar dal /Thuvaram paruppu
  • 1 cup Raw mango Peeled and chopped
  • 2 large Tomato chopped
  • 3 Green chilies Chopped
  • 1 tbsp. Ginger Grated
  • ½ teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon Chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • to taste Salt

TO SEASON –

  • 2 tbsp. Ghee /oil
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
  • ½ teaspoon Fennel seeds/saunf
  • ½ teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon Asafetida
  • few Curry leaves
  • 4 Red chilies

Instructions

  • Wash the dal well and soak in water for about 15-20 minutes. This helps to soften the dal a bit and allows it to cook faster. This step is optional and if in a hurry, you could skip.
  • I cook the dal in Instant pot using the pot in pot technique. We could cook it directly inside the inner pot of the Instant pot as well. Place the lentils, chopped mango pieces, ginger, green chilies and turmeric in a bowl. Add about 3 cups of water as well.
  • I cooked it in high pressure for 15 minutes. We could cook it in pressure cooker as well for 4 to 5 whistles.
  • Once the instant pot is done cooking and the pressure releases naturally, mash the dal to the required consistency. I like to leave little chunks of mango pieces, but if preferred, you could mash it completely.
  • In the meantime, heat ghe or oil in a small pan and add all the seasonings ingredients.
  • Let it fry well and then add it to the simmering dal. Garnish with cilantro.
  • Serve hot with rice and ghee!
