Tips:

1. Time taken for cooking in the pressure cooker depends on the quality of mangodies and the size of the potatoes.

2. If your mangodis are not home-made, then add potatoes only after 2-3 whistles because often, besan is used for making mangodis. Besan makes mangodis hard, and they will take more than normal time to cook.

3. Sometimes mangodis, soak all the water of the sabzi. In that case, boil with extra water and salt to get the required consistency.
