Instructions for Pumpkin Dal with Garlic Tadka Recipe

    1

    To begin making the Pumpkin Dal with Garlic Tadka Recipe, we will be cooking all the ingredients for the dal in a pressure cooker.

    2

    First, get all the ingredients ready. Wash the dal, cut the pumpkin and the remaining ingredients ready.

    3

    Add all the ingredients into the pressure cooker (except the ingredients for the tadka), add 2-1/2 cups of water, salt and cover the pressure cooker. Cook until you hear two whistles. After a couple of whistles, turn the heat to low and simmer for a couple of minutes and turn off the heat.

    4

    Allow the pressure to release naturally. Once the pressure has released, open the cooker and give the dal a stir and transfer to a serving bowl. Check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste.

    5

    For the garlic tadka, heat ghee in a small tadka pan on medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, garlic and red chilies. Allow them to roast for a few seconds and pour the tadka over the dal.

    6

    Serve the Pumpkin Dal with Garlic Tadka Recipe along with steamed rice, papad and achaar for a quick weeknight dinner.
