alrite.. Heres how my ammi makes it (i made it with pretty much the same ingredients.. turned out okay.. tho not perfect)
Mix mash ki daal (urad daal over here) and palak (500 gms spinach for 1 cup of daal) and add a little water, altho spinach khud bhi pani choreta hei. add ginger thori si, garlic 1-2 sides kati hui, one small onion,
mint leaves (podina) 8-10, dil leaves (soya) 1/2 bunch, green chillies 4-5 kati hui. cook all this in a regular pot (not pressure cooker) and keep checking that theres enough water takay nichay na lagay aur consistent rahay. when the daal is soft (about 45 minutes) add salt, laal mirch, khataee powder (one chamach) aur black pepper powder. baghar with onion,zeera,red chilli sabut and heeng (i dont know what that is)
