For Boiled Dal
1/2 cup split and husked pigeon pea
1/4 cup split and husked red lentils
1/4 cup split and husked green fram
1/4 cup split and husked black gram
1/8 cup split and husked bengal gram
1 red onion (sliced)
2 green chillies (adjust to taste)
For Tempering
1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste ( 2-3 cloves garlic and 1 inch ginger finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chilly powder
2 teaspoons coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole black pepper
2 tomatoes(diced)

1
Wash your lentils well. In a pressure cooker (if using, if not in a deep bottom pot) add the lentils, onions and green chillies. Fill with water. You should atleast fill it till it drowns the lentils and water comes to 2 inch above the lentils. If you want your dal thinner you can always add water later on.
2
Cook the dal on medium high heat upto 3 whistles ( this could differ with different types of cookers. You need to get a hang of your pressure cooker). If you are using a pot, cover and boil till all the dals have cooked through and have started coming mushy.
3
For the tempering, heat olive oil. Add black pepper, cumin seeds, ginger and garlic.
4
Once the garlic looses the rawness, add the spices - turmeric, red chilly and coriander powder.
5
Add the diced tomatoes. Let them cook and get all soft and saucy. Add the boiled dal to it. Add salt to taste.
6
Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes, keep whisking to make sure all the dal has dissolved into the water. At this point add more water if you want to thin it out.
7
Garnish with coriander and serve with rice and wedge of lemon.
8
We love to serve it with rice, dahi (yogurt), papad ( Indian cracker, which is not really a cracker), acchar (Indian pickle) and onion salad!
