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 Dal to a Pressure Cooker.

* 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 add some chopped Coriander Leaves and slit Green Chillies.

* Step 4

In the meantime, prepare the tempering. I have used Sun Dried Curd Chillies for the tempering unlike Dry Red Chillies in this dish. I usually do that for different types of Daal recipes that I make for my family. 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!
