Ingredients for Dal Ki Dulhan : 

• 250gm Atta (Whole wheat flour)
• 4 tbsp Ghee
• 1 cup Arhar Dal
• ¼ cup Chana Dal
• 2pc Dry chili
•  1 tomato
•  1 onion
•  2pc green chili
•  ½ tbsp cumin seed
•  1 pinch hing
•   ½ tbsp Kashmiri mirch powder
•  Salt as per taste
•  ½ tbsp garlic
•  ½ tbsp turmeric powder

 

Firstly, clean the lentils with water, transfer to the pressure cooker, add some water, salt as per taste, ½ tbsp turmeric powder, and cook on high flame for the first whistle. Keep the flame high to medium for the next 3 to 4 whistles. 

Next, prepare the pithi flour using and add ¼ tbsp salt. Mix it by hand and add a little water to make a soft dough. To prepare pithi, we will first roll out a chapati and then cut it with a small glass. We fold and attach the top ends and the layout looks good.

Dal pithi requires smooth dal. Add warm water to help smooth it. Wait till it boils. Now we will put each pithi in the dal and then cover the cooker. Cook high to medium flame for 10 minutes, tossing it every five minutes to avoid sticking. Now pithi is ready. We let it dry for 2 to 3 minutes. It will start getting thicker and dal pithi will mix in together.

Now using a pan heat high to medium flame, add 1 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp ghee, and 1 tbsp cumin seed. After a few min, add ½ tbsp garlic,1 pinch hing, 2 tbsp green chili, 1pc dry chili, ½ tbsp Kashmiri mirch powder,  finely chopped onion mix and saute it till golden brown. Now add finely chopped tomato, and ¼ tbsp salt and saute for 2 minutes. Now turn off the flame. Add the Dal Pithi and stir. The pithy consistency has altered. It seems to be combined with the pithi. Add finely chopped coriander leaves and 1 tbsp ghee. Serve with achar and salad. We may eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
