Basic Daal

Daal is usually served over rice to accompany a vegetable dish but you can also serve it with any meat.

You need:
1/3 cup of lentil (any kind will do, I mix three different kinds)
2 cups of water
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp salt

Step 1: Place daal in pressure cooker and rinse well with water.

Step 2: Add two cups of water. The measurement for daal is six parts water into one part daal.

Step 3: Add turmeric and salt. Close the lid and heat over medium heat.

Step 4: Cook for 7-9 whistles and then remove from heat. Pop the latch on the handle. The lid will fall into the daal once the steam has gone from the pot.

Serve over rice. It can also be served as a main dish.
