Method
:
Boil the toor dhal in the pressure cooker
for only two whistles. It should be just
boiled and not too soft.
In the blender, grind together 2 onions,
garlic, ginger, coriander leaves, tomatoes,
cumin seeds, coriander powder and the red
chilies or chili powder. Slice the other
onion finely and keep aside.
Melt butter in a pan and fry the sliced
onion with the cardamoms, cinnamon stick
and cloves. When the onions are turning
a little brown, add the ground masala and
fryaround 15-20 minutes. All the water should
have evaporated and the paste should be
dry.
Now add the boiled dhal to it and add a
little water to make gravy. Add salt to
taste.
Boil
for a while till you get the required consistency.
This is really delicious very easy dish.
The trick here is to fry the masala well.
Serve hot with rice and papad.
