🌿 Wash both types of lentils thoroughly and soak them in water for 30 minutes.
🌿 In a pressure cooker, add the soaked lentils and 4 cups of water. Add salt, a piece of raw mango (optional), a little chopped onion, green chilies, red chili powder, and turmeric powder. Close the lid and cook for 2-3 whistles. Once done, let the pressure release naturally and then open the lid.
🌿 Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and asafoetida. Once the cumin seeds start to crackle, add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
🌿Add the tempering to the cooked lentils and mix well. Let the dal simmer on low heat for 2 minutes so the flavors blend well.
🌿 Transfer the dal to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with chapati, paratha, or rice.
