Method of Preparation :
Clean and pick out stones from the dal. Wash the dal. Cover with
water and keep for at least 5 hours or overnight.
Add 4 cups of water to the dal and cook in a pressure cooker for
about 5 whistles. Leave to cool.
Roughly chop ginger, garlic, and onions and put in a blender. Blend
tomatoes separately. Fry the onion mixture in ghee for 10 min or
until cooked. Add tomatoes and fry until cooked or ghee separates.
Add all seasoning powders and tomato puree and fry for 2 min more.
Add this mixture to the dal and simmer without a lid.
As the water dries up, keep adding more in small quantities. Stir
occasionally so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
Simmering should be done for about an hour.
When the dal is cooked, it should look well mixed and thick.
Lastly, before serving, add butter. Pour in a serving dish and
garnish with cream and fresh coriander.
