Ingredients

Instructions

1. Wash the chana dal and soak it for at least 5 to 6 hours or overnight.
2. Heat the ghee in a pressure cooker on high.
3. Add the cumin seeds and onions and cook over high heat, stirring, until the onion turns translucent. Add the ginger-garlic-green chilli paste and cook for a minute.
4. Add the tomato, salt, turmeric and red chilli powder, stir well, then add the drained dal and the diced bottle gourd. Larger dice hold their shape better after cooking.
5. Add water to just below the level of the dal and gourd, cover and pressure cook on high for 1 whistle, then 3 more whistles on medium.
6. Switch off the heat and let the pressure release naturally.
7. Open the lid, turn the heat back on, and stir in the dry mango powder (optional), garam masala and roasted kasuri methi. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then taste and adjust the seasoning.
8. Add hot water and simmer if you want a thinner dal, then stir in the fresh coriander and serve.
