Masoor Ki Dal

Rinse the masoor dal under running water until the water runs clear.

In a pressure cooker, add the rinsed dal and water. Close the lid and cook for about 3-4 whistles or until the dal is soft.

Once cooked, release the pressure and set the dal aside.

In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute.

Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften.

Pour the tadka over the cooked dal and mix well.

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves before serving.
