Dal Maharani

Presenting, straight Punjab ke dil se, Dal Maharani!! *drum roll*


To whip up the leguminous queen :P you'll need:

* 1/4 cup rajma 
* 1/4 cup whole urad dal 
* 1/4 cup chana dal 
* 1 chopped onion
* 2 chopped tomatoes
* 3 sliced green chilies
* 1/2 inch grated ginger
* Salt to taste 
* 1 pinch turmeric powder 
* 1 tsp red chili powder 
* Coriander leaves 
* 1 tbsp butter 
* 1/4 cup cream 
* 1/4 tsp cumin seeds 
* 1/4 tsp mustard seeds

Here's the method:

1. First things first - soak the rajma, urad & chana dals overnight. The next day, pressure cook these 3, and mash them a little. Then keep aside.

2. Now, heat the butter in a pan, and add the cumin & mustard seeds, and fry till they begin to spatter. Then, add chilies and ginger.

3. Keep frying, and add the onion & tomatoes. Needless to say, cook till done (obviously; kachcha to utaaroge nahi) :P

4. Then, add the salt, turmeric & red chili powders, and stir well. Now, add the rajma, urad & chana dals and boil for a few minutes.

5. Finally, add the cream & coriander (don't forget to mix well) :P

Voila! Dal Maharani done. Enjoy with tandoori/roomali roti, or even naan!!
