Instructions for Meghalaya Style Do O Kalai Recipe - Chicken With Black Lentils

    1

    To begin making Meghalaya Style Do O Kalai Recipe soak the black lentils overnight.

    2

    Start by grinding the onions, ginger, & garlic together in a small grinder jar to a smooth paste. Add a couple of teaspoons of water only if required. Keep it aside.

    3

    Take a pressure cooker and heat a little cooking oil in it. On a medium heat, add the green chillies and saute for a few seconds.Add onion-ginger-garlic paste and saute continuously so that the paste does not get burnt.

    4

    Once the raw smell disappears from the onion paste, add in the curry cut chicken and saute till well coated.

    5

    Once the chicken is well coated with the paste, add the red chilli powder. Mix it well till the red chilli powder coats the chicken evenly.

    6

    Add the soaked urad dal lentils, salt to taste and cooking soda to the pressure cooker and mix.

    7

    Now close the lid of the pressure cooker and cook on a low heat for a couple of whistles till the lentils are tender and soft and mushy to form like a gravy and the chicken is cooked as well.

    8

    After a few whistles turn off heat, allow the pressure of the cooker to release naturally. Once the pressure is released, remove the lid and add in the lemon juice.

    9

    Transfer the Do O Kalai into a serving bowl and serve hot.
