I have made this daal in Punjabi style by adding loads of garlic as well as onions too.
This daal is the most simplest and yummiest daal. I normally make this daal when my mom comes to my house,as its her favorite and i love to cook this for her <3 Ma Choliya Di Daal can be accompanied with hot steaming rice as well as roti too but i love to have this with raw bread and some green chilies.Everyone has its own taste-buds Right? 😉

150 grams black split urad daal and 100 grams chana daal

Ginger-1 tbsp (finely chopped)

Garlic half pod (crushed)

Green Chilies -2 to 4

Onions - 2 medium sized (roughly chopped)

Oil or Desi ghee - 1 1/2 tsp

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Red chili powder- 1 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Sugar -1 pinch

Coriander powder - 1 1/2 tsp

Garam masala - 1/2 tsp

Salt as per taste

Dry mango powder - 2 tsp(I like some tangy flavor in daal)

Wash both the daals together and soak them in water for 1/2 an hour. Now take a pressure cooker add daal with 3 to 4 cups of water and some salt and go for 4 to 5 whistles. Now take a wok add oil heat it up.

Add cumin seeds,garlic,ginger and green chilies. Add onions and saute it. After this add salt,turmeric powder,mango powder,coriander powder,sugar,garam masala and red chili powder.

Stir it for few minutes.Switch off the flame. Now check your pressure cooker that the daal has cooked up properly.(if not add more water and pressure cook again.It depends on the quality of lentils also)

Mash the daal with a ladle to make it mushy. Now add the fried onion masala in pressure cooker filled with daal. Add more water if needed,as some people like to eat thick daal and some like to have little runny one.

Go for a good boil. Your Ma Choliyan Di Daal is ready. At the time of serving this daal you can pour a teaspoon of desi ghee. ]Enjoy your delicious Daal.
