Instructions

Being a single-pot recipe, this can be easily prepared in a pressure cooker. Place a pressure cooker on medium flame, add some ghee to it, now add the whole spices like cumin, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, black pepper and cloves and allow them to sizzle slightly.

Now add the onions and slit green chili and saute them for a minute or two. Now add the tomatoes and mix them well, add some salt and let the onions and tomatoes turn slightly mushy.

Add the ginger garlic paste and cook until the raw smell wears off. Now add the dry spices like turmeric, coriander and cumin powder, red chili powder and finally garam masala. On a low flame, let them cook for a minute.

Once the mixture is well combined, add the soaked chana dal and soaked rice. Add the water and mix everything well. Balance all the seasonings and shut the lid.

Let the Chana Dal Tehri cook up to 3-4 whistles, then turn off the flame. Allow it to cool until the pressure is completely out.

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and serve with a spicy pickle and curd.
