Ingredients:

• For the Dal:
• 1 cup toor dal (pigeon peas)
• 3 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• Salt to taste
• For the Tadka (Tempering):
• 2 tablespoons Gavyamart's Bhadhva Ghee
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 2 dried red chilies
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
• 4-5 garlic cloves, finely chopped

• 2 green chilies, slit
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
• Juice of half a lemon

Instructions:

1. Cook the Dal:
• Rinse the toor dal under running water until the water runs clear.
• In a pressure cooker, add the rinsed dal, water, turmeric powder, and salt. Close the lid and cook on medium heat for 3-4 whistles or until the dal is soft and fully cooked.
• Once the pressure releases naturally, open the lid and mash the dal lightly with a ladle. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Tadka:
• In a pan, heat Gavyamart's Bhadhva Ghee over medium heat.
• Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them splutter.
• Add dried red chilies and sauté for a few seconds until they darken slightly.
• Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
• Add garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté until the raw smell of garlic and ginger disappears.
• Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.
• Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. Combine Dal and Tadka:
• Pour the cooked dal into the pan with the tadka. Mix well to combine.
• Adjust the consistency of the dal by adding water if needed. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes on low heat.
• Add garam masala and mix well.
• Turn off the heat and add lemon juice. Stir to combine.
4. Garnish and Serve:
• Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
• Serve hot with steamed rice or roti, and enjoy the rich flavors enhanced by Gavyamart's Bhadhva Ghee.
