Instructions

1. Rinse the moong dal under running water until the water runs clear.
2. In a pressure cooker, add the rinsed dal, chopped tomatoes, onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric powder, salt, and water.
3. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 whistles on medium heat until the dal is soft.
4. Once done, let the pressure release naturally. Open the lid and stir the dal to combine.
5. In a small pan, heat a teaspoon of oil and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, pour this tempering over the dal.
6. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or roti.

Tips

• For added flavor, you can include a pinch of asafoetida (hing) in the tempering.
