Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash and soak dal in about 2 cups of water. Add chopped Onions, Ginger garlic paste, Red Chilli and Turmeric powders. Also stir in chopped Tomatoes and the soaked and drained Daal to a Pressure Cooker. Add the chopped Fenugreek Leaves too.

* Step 2

Pressure cook on a high heat for about 8 whistles or as required. Add enough water to facilitate better cooking. Set aside until the pressure settles down on it's own.

* Step 3

Open the lid and allow it to simmer on a low heat. You can adjust the consistency accordingly. Also don't forget to add squeezed Tamarind water to it. Cook until the raw smell fades away. Also add some chopped Coriander Leaves and slit Green Chillies.

* Step 4

In the meantime, prepare the tempering. Add it to the cooked Daal. Adjust the amount of Salt. Garnish with some more of chopped Coriander Leaves. Serve it piping hot alongside Rice or Rotis. Yum!
