* We can also use moong dal instead of toor dal. 

* Adjust water according to consistency you wish. 

* Adjust chilli according to your taste. 

Tips

** You can skip soaking if no time. Then cook dal in medium flames for 5 minutes and then cook in high flames for 3 whistles. 

** Donot cook mango pieces too smooth, mango dal tastes good when we get mango pieces while eating. 

** If you do not like Mango bites then cook Mango in cooker for 1 whistle after boiling dal. 

** If your Mango is not tangy then we can add pinch of tamarind juice. 

** You can skip red chilli and use only green chilli too to get yellow color dal. 

** using  Ghee for tempering gives good taste to dal. You can also use oil too.
