Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Put the soaked lentils with 2 cups(or less depends on what consistency you want your lentils) of water into a pressure cook and cook for about 8 whistles OR ten minutes after coming to pressure. While this is happening lets make the tempering for the lentils. Heat oil in a pan and add the asafoetida, let it cook for a few seconds and then we add the cumin seeds and let them splutter and then the curry leaves and the ginger garlic paste. Cook till the paste starts changing color and immediately add the chopped onions and some salt. Cook till the onions start changing color and add the tomatoes and the fenugreek leaves, Cook till mashed and add the green chillies and coriander leaves. By now your lentils should be ready. Add them to this with the water remaining in the cooker and bring everything to a good boil so the flavours blend. Serve hot with a squeeze of lime.

  2. While the tempering is being made you can also start with the chicken.

  3. Heat oil in a pan and add the curry leaves and grated ginger. Cook till ginger starts changing color and add the chopped green chillies and tomatoes. Add the salt, turmeric, the black pepper and cook till tomatoes are all mushy. Add the cubed chicken and cook on high fire till chicken gets cooked. Add a little water if you want some gravy. Lastly add the cardamom powder and the coriander leaves.

  4. Serve hot While all this is being made you can make two or three rotis.

  5. I managed to make this all in half an hour and i am sure you can tooo!!!

  6. Good luck!!
