Step 3: Masala Tayyar Karna
Ek heavy-bottomed pan mein makkhan daalein aur ise medium flame par melt hone dein. Ab isme jeera daal kar tadka lagayein. Jaise hi jeera crackle kare, isme finely chopped lehsun aur adrak daalein. Inhe golden brown hone tak fry karein.

Pressure cooker se cooked dal ko is masala mixture mein daalein. Ab isme lal mirch powder, dhaniya powder aur garam masala daalein. Dal ko masale mein achhe se mix karein aur low flame par simmer hone dein. Agar dal zyada thick lage toh thoda paani daal sakte hain.
