Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole green gram dhal / moong dhal /muzhu payiru – 1 cup
- 1 teaspoon Ginger grated – 1 tsp
- 2 Green chilies chopped – 2
- 4 tablespoon Sugar
- 1.5 tablespoon Mango powder
- .5 teaspoon Asafetida
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon Ghee/clarified butter
- Fresh cilantro – few
Instructions
- Wash the dhal well and soak in water for about an hour.
- Pressure cook the dhal with enough water until soft and mushy. Once the dhal is cooked, mash it well with a masher or a flat spoon. I used my Instant pot to cook my dhal. I set it on manual mode for about 15 minutes and it worked perfect. If using pressure cooker, cook it for 4 to 5 whistles.
- Add enough water to bring it to the desired consistency. Now add all the other ingredients except the ghee and the cilantro and mix well.
- Cook on medium heat for about 10 mins and then simmer for 15 more mins, stirring frequently in between. Since I made it on IP, I just turned t on saute mode and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the ghee and cilantro. Mix well and serve hot with rice or roti’s.
