Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sukha Urad Dal Punjabi Style.
Step 1
Start by rinsing your lentils under cool water to remove any impurities.
Step 2
Then, soak them in a large container for about 4 hours or, for the best results, overnight.
Step 3
Once they’re nice and plump, drain the lentils and set them aside, ready for their flavorful journey.
Step 4
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, warm up some cooking oil over medium heat.
Step 5
Toss in the chopped onion, green chile peppers, minced garlic, and ginger.
Step 6
Sauté this aromatic mix until the onions turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to add the soaked lentils along with a cup of water.
Step 8
Sprinkle in some salt to taste, then lower the heat and let everything simmer gently.
Step 9
This is where the magic happens—let the lentils cook until they’re tender, which will take about 30 minutes.
Step 10
After that, stir in the chopped tomato, garam masala, and ground turmeric.
Step 11
Allow this delightful mixture to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure all the flavors meld together beautifully.
Step 12
Finally, just before serving, sprinkle some fresh chopped cilantro on top for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 13
Enjoy your delicious lentil dish, knowing you’ve created something truly special!.
