🍲 How to Cook Buddha Ratana Desi Masoor Dal

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Buddha Ratana Desi Masoor Dal

• 2½–3 cups water

• ¼ tsp turmeric

• Salt, to taste

• 1–2 tsp ghee or oil

For Tadka:

• 1 tsp cumin seeds

• 2–3 cloves garlic, chopped

• 1 small onion, optional

• 1 small tomato, chopped

• Green chilli, optional

• Dried red chilli, optional

Method:

1. Wash the Dal
   Rinse 1 cup of Masoor Dal thoroughly 2–3 times until the water becomes relatively clear.

2. Soaking – Optional
   Masoor Dal cooks relatively quickly, so soaking is not essential. If desired, soak for 15–20 minutes, then drain.

3. Pressure Cook
   Add the washed dal, 2½–3 cups water, turmeric, and salt to a pressure cooker.

4. Cook Until Tender
   Pressure cook on medium heat for approximately 2–3 whistles. Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.

5. Whisk Until Creamy
   Open the cooker and gently whisk the dal until smooth. Add a little hot water if you prefer a thinner consistency.

6. Prepare the Tadka
   Heat ghee or oil in a small pan. Add cumin, garlic, onion, tomato, green chilli, and dried red chilli as desired. Sauté until fragrant.

7. Finish the Dal
   Pour the hot tadka over the cooked dal and mix gently.

8. Serve Hot
   Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with steamed rice, jeera rice, roti, or chapati.

💡 Cooking Tip

Masoor Dal does not require prolonged soaking and cooks relatively quickly. For a smooth, creamy consistency, whisk the dal well after cooking. For a thinner dal, gradually add hot water until you reach your preferred consistency.
