I was in the mood for something spicy yet simple today, and this recipe has been in my cookbook for quite some time now. Used ingredients I almost always have on hand. I didn't pressure-cook the lentils though. Instead, I boiled it in enough water to cover the lentils (adding a little hot water if needed) till they were soft enough and then mashed them. Also, I added the finely chopped onions to the pot about a minute before the mashed lentils. Other than that, I followed the rest of the recipe as written and used 4 slightly heaped tablespoons of mango achar. Served it with hot parathas and seasoned yoghurt. A very nice dish and a definite keeper. TY for posting Charishma.
