Recipe for Steamed Lentils

I make this in the pressure cooker, its faster, gets done in two whistles 

Ingredients

Split yellow lentils, salt, red chilli powder, water to cook

For tempering - asafoetida , cumin seeds, oil

How to 

Heat some oil in the pressure cooker, add asafoetida and cumin seeds when the oil is hot. Add the lentils (with water) to the tempering and add salt and red chilli powder as per taste. Close the cooker and wait for two whistles. The lentils should be parboiled and seperate and not mashed. The water to lentil proportion is usually 2 1/2 : 1. You can drain excess water is required.

 
 Hope you enjoyed this Monday's Meal of the Day..
