4. Step 4

   This blend of spices will elevate your dish to a whole new level! Pour in some water and add the chana dal, then let the mixture simmer gently for about 30 to 35 minutes.

   You’ll know it’s ready when the meat is fully cooked and the water has mostly evaporated, leaving behind a rich, flavorful base.
