Re: HELP!!! Kaddu daal
I pressure cook a cup of channa daal with salt, haldi and red chilli powder, some dry red chillies, 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste and 4 cups of water. You want the daal to be 3/4 and at this point, add the cut up kaddu. Once the kaddu is tender, pour over a tarka of onions, green chillies and zeera. Ta da! Some people add tomatoes while cooking the daal.
or
You can fry onions, add tomatoes, ginger garlic and spices, once the oil separates, add kaddu. Cook until almost tender. Meawhile boil the daal separately with just water and no spices, maybe just haldi.
Add daal to kaddu. Cook a bit. Done.
