Ingredients
- 1 cup Horse gram lentils washed and soaked for 30 minutes in 4 cups of water
- 1 teaspoon salt for cooking
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 pinch asafoetida (hing)
- 1 green chilli diced
- 1 cup yellow onion diced
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 1 cup tomato diced
- 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi)
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder (dhaniya powder)
Instructions
- In a pressure cooker or instant pot, add the lentils, water, and salt. Pressure cook for 5-6 whistles for stovetop pressure cooker or 20 minutes on high pressure for instant pot. Let the pressure release naturally.
- Heat a pan on a medium-high flame, and add the oil. Then add cumin seeds and asafoetida. Saute for 30 seconds.
- Add the green chilli, onions and ginger. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions are golden while stirring frequently.
- Add the tomatoes, and spices, and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Now add the cooked lentils with all the liquid. Mix well.
- Cook for about 5 minutes so that the tempering mixes well with the dal.
- Garnish with cilantro. Serve hot with rice!
Notes
- Make it a one-pot recipe: You can also cook this as a one-pot recipe. Make the tempering, and add the rinsed dal and water to the instant pot. Pressure cook for 30 minutes on high pressure, then let the pressure release naturally.
- Thickeness: This kulthi dal does not have the same thickness as some of the other lentils. If you want your dal to be thicker consistency, blend 2-3 tablespoons cooked dal into a paste and add it to your dal. It will thicken the dal.
