notes:

- you can cook mangoes along with dal in a pressure cooker. however, i prefer mango bites so i cook separately.
- chilli powder and salt depends on the sourness of mango. so adjust accordingly.
- i have used frozen mangoes, fresh mangoes taste great.
- serve mango dal with a spoonful of ghee and sandige menasu to get the rich flavour.
