• Dal:
  • 1/2 cup Chana dal (Bengal Gram Dal)
  • 1/2 cup Green Moong Dal (Split)
  • 1/4 cup White Urad Dal (Split)
  • 2 cups water
  • Salt – according to taste 

• Tadka:
  • 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, pureed
  • 2 green chilies, slit
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
  • 1 tablespoon ghee or oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnishing

• Step 1: Chana, split green moong, and urad dals should all be well rinsed before soaking in water for two hours. Before cooking, drain the water.

• Step 2: The soaked dals should be combined with water, salt, turmeric powder, and a pressure cooker. The dal should be cooked and tender after 4-5 whistles of pressure cooking.

• Step 2: Mildly mash the dals and let the steam escape naturally.

• Step 3: Now lets prepare tadka for dal. Heat ghee or oil in a separate pan. Add the mustard and cumin seeds. Add asafoetida, finely chopped onions, and slit green chilies once they begin to sputter. Onions should be sautéed till golden brown.

• Step 4:  Add the minced ginger and garlic, and cook for a minute to get rid of the raw scent. Add the diced tomato now, and heat it until they get well mixed with other ingredients. Salt (to taste) and red chilli powder can be added. Stir thoroughly.

• Step 5: Now add the cooked dal to the masala-filled pan. The flavors will meld if you combine everything and boil it for 5 to 10 minutes on low heat.

• Step 6: Verify the dal’s consistency and make any required adjustments by adding water. It should slowly come to a boil. Turn off the heat when the Sindhi Tridali Dal achieves the appropriate consistency. Garnish with finely chopped fresh coriander leaves.
