Mixed Dal ( Dhaba Style)

Wash and soak moong dal, chana dal, and urad dal in enough water to cover them for at least an hour.

Drain the water and add the soaked dal, tomatoes, turmeric, salt, and 2 cups of water to a pressure cooker. Pressure cook on high heat. Once the first whistle goes off, reduce the flame and pressure cook for 4-5 more whistles until the dal is soft .

Add more water to the dal if required to adjust the consistency.

In a pan, heat oil and ghee. Add jeera, and once it starts spluttering, add ginger, garlic, whole red chillies, and green chillies. Sauté for 30 seconds, then add onions.

Cook the onions on high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously until they become crispy and brown. Add chilli powder and turn off the flame.

Pour this tadka (tempering) over the hot dal. Top with coriander and mix. Serve piping hot.
