Instructions for Sukhi Urad Dal Sabzi Recipe

To begin making the Sukhi Urad Dal Sabzi Recipe, first clean the urad dal and thoroughly rinse it with water. Let the dal soak in enough water for at least 4-5 hours. Once soaked, drain the water.

Keep a pressure cooker with little water in it on heat. Place the drained Urad Dal into the steamer pan of the pressure cooker. Add water to the urad dal and pressure cook for three whistles. Turn off the heat. Let the pressure release naturally.

After the pressure has released we will make the Sukhi Urad Dal Sabzi Recipe

Into a preheat pan add ghee. Once the ghee is hot add the cumin seeds and asafoetida and let the cumin seeds crackle.

Once done add the onion, ginger and green chilli and saute till onions turn soft and translucent.

After the onions are soft add the cooked urad dal, turmeric powder, salt to taste, garam masala powder, coriander powder and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the dal fluffs up a little bit more.

Once done turn off the heat and mix in the juice of one lemon. Stir in the coriander leaves and transfer the Sukhi Urad Dal Recipe into a serving bowl and serve hot.
