De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

  1. 1

    Rinse the toor dal several times under cold water until the water runs clear.

    Ongeveer 2 min

    Tip van de kok: Rinsing removes any impurities and excess starch.

  2. 2

    Combine the rinsed toor dal, water, turmeric powder, and salt in a pressure cooker.

    Ongeveer 1 min

  3. 3

    Cook for 3-4 whistles, then let the pressure release naturally.

    Ongeveer 15 min

    Tip van de kok: Alternatively, cook in a pot on the stovetop for 25-30 minutes, or until the dal is tender and mushy.

  4. 4

    Once the pressure is released, open the cooker and mash the dal lightly with the back of a spoon to achieve a smooth consistency.

    Ongeveer 1 min

    Tip van de kok: Add a little hot water if the dal is too thick.

  5. 5

    Heat the ghee in a separate small pan over medium heat for the tadka.

    Ongeveer 1 min

  6. 6

    Add the mustard seed and cumin seed; let them splutter.

    Ongeveer 1 min

    Tip van de kok: This indicates the spices are releasing their aroma.

  7. 7

    Stir in the asafoetida, yellow onion, ginger, garlic, and green chili. Sauté until the onion turns translucent.

    Ongeveer 5 min

  8. 8

    Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

    Ongeveer 3 min

    Tip van de kok: Mashing the tomatoes as they cook helps them break down faster.

  9. 9

    Stir in the coriander powder, garam masala, and red chili powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Ongeveer 1 min

    Tip van de kok: Be careful not to burn the spices.

  10. 10

    Pour the prepared tadka into the cooked dal and mix well.

    Ongeveer 1 min

  11. 11

    Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
