Recipe of Masoor Dhuli:
1. Measure and keep all the ingredients. Rinse ½ cup masoor dal (pink lentils) a couple of times in water. Then add the masoor daal in a 2-litre pressure cooker. Also add 1.5 to 1.75 cups water.
2. Pressure cook the split pink lentils on a medium to medium-high flame for 5 to 6 whistles or till they become soft and mushy. When the lentils are cooked, beat with a wooden spoon or wired whisk lightly. Keep the cooked pink lentils aside.
3. Make onion-tomato masala. In another pan or pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and sauté till they crackle and become golden.
4. Next add ⅓ cup chopped onions. Stir and begin to saute the onions, till they are light golden. Then add ¼ inch chopped ginger. Also add 2 to 3 garlic which is crushed or chopped.
5. Add ½ teaspoon ERB turmeric powder, ¼ to ½ teaspoon, ERB red chilli powder, ¼ to ½ teaspoon ERB garam masala powder and 1 generous pinch of asafoetida (hing).
6. Add 1 medium-sized chopped tomato. Stir the tomatoes and mix them well. Saute the tomatoes till the oil separates and the tomatoes become soft.
7. Add the cooked lentils. Mix well. Pour 1 to 1.5 cups water. You can adjust the quantity of water as required. Also Add salt as required and stir. Simmer the dal for 6 to 7 minutes more on a low or medium flame till you get the desired consistency.
8. Add 1 teaspoon crushed kasuri methi/dry fenugreek leaves (optional). Simmer for 1 minute.
9. You can also garnish with coriander leaves if you want while serving the dal. Masoor Dhuli Daal hot with steamed basmati rice.
