Method 4 steps
Combine the dal, green chillies, turmeric powder, and water in a pressure cooker. Cook for 15 minutes, then leave the pressure cooker to release steam on its own.
Open the pressure cooker and mash the cooked dal. Add salt to taste. Add more water if it is too thick and heat over a medium heat.
Heat oil or ghee in a frying pan, then add jeera and curry leaves. After it splutters, pour it over the cooked dal.
Serve hot with rice or rotis.
