Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon toor dal
  • 1 tablespoon Chana dal
  • 2 tablespoon moong dal
  • 2 tablespoon masoor dal
  • 1 tablespoon urad dal peeled
  • 2 tablespoon Ghee

Instructions

  • Wash and rinse all the dals in a big bowl.
  • Soak together for 1 hour in hot water.I soaked them in the pressure cooker I was planning to use to pressure cook the dal.
  • Add some water and cook in the pressure cooker for 4-5 whistles.(My rough method for water is when I stand my index finger on the dal the water should reach my finger joint dipped in water).
  • Let the pressure come down naturally.
  • Once the cooker is open use the ladle and mash the dal properly.
  • Add more water say about a cup and mix properly.
  • In a small kadhai/wok heat the ghee and oil.
