To begin making the Shahi Dal Recipe, we will first pressure cook the soaked urad dal, almonds, turmeric powder and salt. Pressure cook for at least 4 whistles.

Heat a sauce pan with oil, add cumin seeds and allow it to splutter for few seconds. Add onions and saute till it is translucent.

Add tomatoes and sprinkle little salt and cook until it becomes mushy. Add chilli powder and give it a toss for at least 2 minutes.

Once the dal is cooked open the lid and add a cup of milk and put the pressure cooker back on heat and cook for another 2 minutes.

Add salt and season well. Add the tempered onion and tomato over the top and serve hot.

Serve the Shahi Dal Recipe along with phulka, Manipuri Style Chana Kanghou and Palak Raita by the side to create a delicious lunch meal.
