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.

  6. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or roti.

Tips

  • Adjust the consistency of the dal by adding more water if needed.
  • For added flavor, you can include a pinch of asafoetida (hing) in the tempering.
