👩‍🍳 Method

Step 1 – Soak the dal & rajma
• Wash urad dal and rajma thoroughly.
• Soak overnight (8–10 hours) in plenty of water.
💡 Tip: Longer soaking makes dal creamier and easier to digest.

Step 2 – Pressure cook
• Drain soaking water, rinse once.
• Add soaked dal + rajma into pressure cooker with:
• 5 cups fresh water
• ½ tbsp turmeric powder
• ½ tbsp coriander powder
• ½ tbsp ghee
• Salt to taste (don’t forget this!)
• Pressure cook on medium flame for 4 whistles, till dal and rajma are soft and mashable.
💡 Tip: Adding ghee while boiling keeps dal buttery soft.

Step 3 – Make masala base
• Heat 2 tbsp butter in a pan.
• Add 1 tbsp ginger–garlic paste, sauté until aromatic.
• Add puree of 3 medium tomatoes.
• Add 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder + a pinch of salt.
• Cook until masala thickens and butter starts separating.
💡 Tip: Crush kasuri methi for best flavor

Step 4 – Combine with dal
• Add boiled dal + rajma into the masala.
• Mix well.
• Add 1 cup hot water (adjust for thickness).
• Simmer on low flame for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
💡 Tip: Always add hot water, never cold — it keeps dal creamy.

Step 5 – Finish the dal
• Crush 1 tsp kasuri methi between palms, add it in.
• Stir in 1 tsp butter.
• Turn off flame.
• Mix in 2 tbsp fresh cream gently.
💡 Tip: Add cream only after turning off the gas to avoid curdling.

Step 6 – Serve
• Garnish with cream or butter.
• Serve hot with naan, roti, or jeera rice.
