Recipe tips -
1. Mustard oil gives a wonderful flavor to this dish. If you do not have it, or if you do not like it, you can substitute it with any cooking oil of your choice.
2. Heat the mustard oil till it smokes - this step will take away the bitter taste of mustard oil.
3. As the oil will be very hot, the tempering ingredients like mustard, cumin seeds and red chillies will burn very fast. Therefore, keep all the ingredients ready and add them quickly one after the other.
4. Mashing 2 pieces of mango will give an extra tanginess to the dal. You and avoid this step if you do not want your dal to be very sour.
