step-3 and pressure cook it for

3 whistles.
If you like it to be thin and
watery, then add 1 cup
additional water before adding
the tempering and boil for few
minutes.
You can use less oil (only 1 teaspoon oil) for tempering to reduce its calorie
count.
To cook dal using pan instead of pressure cooker in step-3 and step-4 (in
above recipe), follow the given steps. Remaining steps are same as given
above.
1. Pour 2 cups water in a saucepan or deep kadai. Add (soaked and
drained) dal, salt and turmeric powder in it.
2. Boil it on low flame until dal is cooked. Stir in between occasionally to
prevent sticking. To check whether dal is cooked or not, take few grains
of it and try to mash them. If they can be mashed easily, then it is
cooked.

Taste: Mild spicy

Serving Ideas: Serve it with rice, curry, roti and papad for healthy wholesome
meal.

Hi, Thanks for this recipe.
In the method, you have asked to add red chilli powder and coriander powder
but in the ingredients you have not mentioned how much coriander powder to
add. Can you kindly let me know how much should I add?
Thank you & best regards.
Response: Thank you Reebu for pointing out the mistake. Add 1 teaspoon
coriander powder. I have updated the recipe now.
