When do u add ginger garlic in dal makhani during the dal getting cooked or with cumin and tomatoes

Hi Seema,
Oops, we forgot to include when you put in the ginger and garlic i the recipe. It’s fixed now. You add it to the daal in the beginning while it is getting cooked.

what is the process if you dont have a pressure cooker?
July 18th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
The tradional method of making this dal is on a low flame for a long time. So, if don’t have a preassure cooker, it is definately do-able.
Here are some tips:
1. Don’t skimp on the amount of time that you soak the dal.
2. Follow the above recipe upto step 3 then cook the Dal on a pan/pot covered and allow it to come to a good boil, then lower heat just a little and keep cooking till the daal is soft. Stir ocassionally and make sure there is enough water.
3. If you have a slow cooker, it would be the best way to go.
Hope this helps.
