طريقة التحضير

  1. 1

    Cook the dal

    Pressure-cook the chana dal with turmeric and water for 3 whistles — you want it soft but still holding some texture, not fully mushy.

  2. 2

    Season

    Season the cooked dal with salt and stir gently, keeping some grain intact.

  3. 3

    Make the tadka

    Heat the ghee in a small pan, add cumin seed, dried chillies, garlic and asafoetida, and fry until the garlic turns golden and fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine

    Pour the sizzling tadka over the dal and stir once to combine.

  5. 5

    Finish

    Garnish with coriander and serve hot with rice or roti.

نصيحة نيترا

Chana dal cooks faster than toor dal and can turn mushy quickly — check it a whistle earlier than you'd expect the first time.
