Method

Chana Dal ko bhigo dena:

Sabse pehle, chana dal ko ache se dhoke kam se kam 30 minutes ke liye paani mein bhigo dein. Isse dal thoda soft ho jayega aur jaldi pak jayega.

Green Peas ka Paste:

Ab fresh green peas ko mixer grinder mein dal kar thoda sa coarse paste bana lein. Bahut fine paste nahi banana, thoda texture hona chahiye.

Mustard Oil Garam Karna:

Kadhai mein mustard oil garam karein. Jab oil achi tarah se garam ho jaye aur thoda sa smoke nikalne lage, tab samjhein ki oil ready hai.

Tadka Lagana:

Garam oil mein cumin seeds daalein. Jab cumin seeds crackle karne lage, tab bay leaf, cloves aur cinnamon stick daalein. Inhe 30 seconds tak fry karein taaki masalon ka aroma aajaye.

Pyaaz aur Hari Mirch:

Ab finely chopped pyaaz aur hari mirch daalein. Pyaaz ko brown hone tak fry karein.

Ginger-Garlic Paste:

Ginger-garlic paste ko pyaaz ke saath mila kar fry karein jab tak raw smell chali na jaye. Ye lagbhag 2-3 minutes le sakta hai.

Tamatar aur Masalein:

Ab finely chopped tamatar daalein aur thoda sa salt mila dein. Isse tamatar jaldi pak jaayenge. Tamatar ko mash hone tak cook karein. Phir turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder aur red chili powder daalein. Inhe ache se mix karein aur 2-3 minutes tak cook karein.

Green Peas Paste aur Chana Dal:

Ab green peas ka coarse paste aur soaked chana dal daalein. Inhe ache se mix karein aur 5-7 minutes tak fry karein taaki peas ka raw taste chala jaye.

Paani aur Pressure Cooking:

Consistency Adjust Karna:
