Stepwise preparation of Dal Moghlai

1. Soak toor dal & chana dal for at least 3 to 4 hours for them to cook faster. If possible, soak them overnight as it has distinct benefits.
2. After soaked well for the desired duration, clean & wash dals so that antioxidants & acidity causing nutrients are drained.
3. Take a pressure cooker & add dals, tomatoes, bottle guard, turmeric powder, salt & 3 cups of water. Pressure cook dal for 3 whistles.
4. Whisk the dal mixture & keep aside

Seasoning

1. Heat ghee in a deep fry pan & add cumin seeds. Once they crackle, add garlic, green chilies, ginger & onion.
2. Sauté the mixture on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes or till it turns light brown
3. Pour it over the seasoned dal mixture, add salt & mix well

Chef’s Tip: Once garlic in the seasoning starts getting brownish, turn off the stove & stir the pan a bit so that it achieves slightly brown color more. This way, your seasoning will not get burnt.

Let the dal cook for 5 minutes on a medium flame with occasional stirring.

Garnish the dal with coriander & serve hot. If you want to proceed to buy toor dal online, we can help.
