Lauki Daal

My husband had this at an Indian restaurant and really liked it. So to make him happy, I made it today and omg, it tasted too good. Its such an easy recipe and so heallthy. Its a good twist to same old boring daal or just ghiya and feels wholesome. Here's the recipe, njoy :)

Ingredients:

1. 1 small lauki (cut into 1/4th inch pcs)
2. chana daal (1/2 katori soaked for an hr)
3. 1/4 onion (cut into small pcs)
4. 1 inch ginger grated
5. 1 dry red chilli broken                                  
6. hing (1/2 tsp)
7. salt (3/4th tsp)
8. haldi (1/4th tsp)
9. ghee (1 tbsp)
10. garam masla (1/2 tsp)
11. jeera (1/2 tsp)
12. cilantro for garnishing

Procedure:

• In a pressure cooker, add ghee. Add in jeera, onions, hing, haldi, red chillli, grated ginger and saute.

Add in ghiya pcs and saute for 1 min.

Add in the soaked daal. Now add 3 katori water approx. Dont overadd water since lauki has water in it. Close pressure cooker and get 3 whistles on high and then simmer for 7-8 mins.

Open pressure cooker once all steam is out. Add in cilantro and garam masala and give a good stir

Delicious lauki daal is ready, njoy :)
