Method:
Wash the dal & add it into a pressure cooker, add water, green chilli, salt & pressure cook the dal over high flame only for one whistle.
Switch off the flame once the whistle blows & depressurize the cooker immediately by lifting the whistle up using a spoon or a spatula.
Open the lid once the cooker has depressurized, then using a whisk or a spatula whisk the dal slightly, you don’t have to whisk it until smooth, some of the texture from the dal should remain.
To make the tempering, set a kadhai over high flame, add the oil & let it get hot until the oil reaches its smoking point, then lower the flame & let the oil cool down slightly.
Add all the whole spices, raw mango & turmeric powder, stir well over high flame for 1-2 minutes then cover & cook over low flame only for a minute.
Once the raw mango slices turn soft, mash 1-2 pieces & add the boiled dal, hot water to adjust the consistency & sugar, stir well & cook for 2-3 minutes, you can adjust the consistency of the dal as per your preference.
Lastly taste & adjust salt if required.
Bengali Tok Dal is ready, serve hot with rice.
