Soaking the Lentils. I took 1 part each of Arhar, Masoor, Moong.. and soaked them in water for a couple of hours.
Now to temper it, we would be needing, Cumin Seeds, chopped Onions, Curry Leaves, Chopped Tomatoes.
Now heat oil in a Pressure Cooker. When heated enough, add the Curry leaves, Cumin Seeds and let them temper and fly around. Then add Onions. And let them brown a bit.
When the Onions are sautéed well, tumble in the chopped Tomatoes..
Then here's a concoction of Salt, Turmeric and Red Chillies. Add it to the Onion-Tomato mixture.
Now add the soaken-lentils and 4 times the water..
Put the lid of the pressure cooker on, wait till the whistle blows. Then turn the heat to slow and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. and let it stand till it cools down.
I am going to try this tomorrow if I get back home in time! need to get on to some healthy eating. Especially after a weekend gorging on papri's rajma chawal for dinner saturday night. followed by her awesome-ly spicy anda curry kalkatte waali and retouched kaddu waale punjabi chhole for lunch thanks to mridul and me! of and did i mention we ran out of oil and were lazy to go down get it, so it was all ghee? :P

ReplyDeleteI would say ghee is better than oil...
