Add 1/2 inch ginger (grated), 1 medium tomato (chopped), 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups of water.2Step 2: Close the lid and press the pressure cook button. Make sure the valve is in the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally. The dal will be completely soft once done.3Step 3: While the dal is being pressure cooked, work on the tadka. To a wide pan on medium heat, add 1 & 1/2 tablespoons of ghee. Once it's done, add 3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Then add 3-4 chopped garlic cloves and 2 broken red chilies, and sauté for 1 minute until the garlic starts changing color.4Step 4: Add the chopped onions, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and curry leaves. Cook for around 3 minutes, stirring often, until the onions caramelize or turn light golden brown in color.5Step 5: Add 1/2 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder and cook for 30 seconds. Add in the pressure cooked dal and mix until everything is well combined. Add additional 1/2 cup of water at this point to adjust the consistency of the dal.6Step 6: Let the dal simmer on low-medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add in 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro. Serve the dal hot with plain rice or with rotis.getsaucepan.com/r/3d839414-dddf-4cb8-ae73-1b2b645cc05d · Original: https://www.cookwithmanali.com/simple-masoor-dal-recipe-red-lentil-dal/
