SAMAAN

AISE BANAO.

01Wash the dals and pressure cook with turmeric, salt and 3 cups water for 4 whistles. Whisk lightly.
02Heat oil, cook onion until soft, add tomato, dal masala and chilli powder. Cook until mushy.
03Add the dal and simmer 8 minutes.
04Heat ghee, add jeera, hing and garlic. Fry until the garlic is dark golden.
05Take the pan off the heat, add red chillies and Kuti Teja Mirch and pour straight over the dal.
06For smoke, place a hot coal in a small bowl on the dal, drizzle ghee on it and cover for 2 minutes.
BUNTY KA TIP“Chief Mirchi Officer approved. Sunder daalo, swaad badhao.”Take the tadka off the heat before adding the chilli. It should bloom red, not turn black.

SAWAAL JAWAAB

Is the coal step safe?

Use food grade charcoal, heat it until glowing on a gas flame, set it in a steel bowl, and remove it before serving.

Can I make it milder?

Leave out the Kuti Teja Mirch and use 2 red chillies.
