Steps to prepare Rajasthani Panchmel Dal

  1. Rinse and Cook Dals
    - Take 1/4 bowl of all 5 dals and give them a thorough rinse. In a pressure cooker, combine the dals with 1 & 1/2 cups of water, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, a pinch of salt, and a few cloves. Pressure cook until you hear 5 whistles, ensuring the dals are soft and well-cooked.
  2. Sauté Spices in Ghee
    - In a separate pan, heat a dollop of ghee or oil. Add cloves, black pepper, dry red chilies, bay leaf, cumin seeds, and a dash of hing. Let the spices sizzle and release their aromatic essence. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and finely chopped green chilies, sautéing until they turn golden brown.
  3. Caramelize Onions and Tomatoes
    - Introduce the finely chopped onion to the pan and continue to sauté until they become translucent and lightly caramelized. Add the chopped tomato and let it cook down to a mushy consistency, infusing the dal with a burst of natural sweetness.
  4. Mix Spices and Blend Flavors
    - Sprinkle in red chilly powder, turmeric, and a pinch of salt, letting the spices mingle and deepen in flavor. Now, gently incorporate the boiled dal, adjusting the consistency with water to your liking. Allow the dal to simmer, letting the flavors meld into a harmonious blend.
  5. Garnish and Serve
    - Finish with a generous sprinkle of freshly chopped coriander, elevating the dish with a burst of vibrant green.
