Instructions
- Wash and soak red lentils in 2 cups of drinking water for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile heat ghee in a cooking pot on a low heat.
- Add curry leaves and chopped green chillies along with the crushed coriander seeds and asafoetida. Saute all for a few seconds and then add chopped onions.
- Saute until they are light pink in colour. Add chopped tomatoes and fenugreek leaves along with turmeric and red chilli powder.
- Add salt and cover with a lid. Leave it undisturbed for 10 minutes. Now add soaked lentils along with the water.
- Mix well and allow it to simmer on medium high heat for 10-12 minutes. See to it that it is soft yet firm. Serve it hot garnished with garam masala and freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Notes
As red lentils get cooked easily there is no need to pressure cook them. And also soaking them just for a few minutes prior to cooking will be enough. Keep a watchful eye while it’s cooking so that it doesn’t become too soft or mushy.
