Ghee for tempering
Method:
Step 1 - Wash and soak the dal in water for around half an hour. Also, soak the saffron strands in some milk.
Step 2 - Pressure cook the dal along with salt and turmeric powder.
Step 3 - Add milk, cream and curd, and whisk everything together. You can also mash the dal with the back of a ladle. Add saffron milk and mix well.
Step 4 - Cook the mashed dal for about 5 minutes without closing the lid.
Step 5 - Now, make the tempering for the dal. Heat ghee in a pan. Fry cumin seeds and whole red chillies. Saute garlic, ginger, green chillies and onions. Season with red chilli powder and salt if needed. Remember, we have already added salt in dal.
