Dal varieties 

Traditionally restaurant style Dal is prepared with more toor dal and very little moong dal for texture and taste. You can alter the quantity according to family preference but get Punjabi dhaba style dal, follow the recipe.

Should I saute onion and garlic?

to make restaurant-style Dal-friendly meals I have simplified the recipe and made a pressure cooker version. You won’t taste raw smell.  The shortcut version is no compromise in taste and texture.

can I skip onion and garlic?

yes, you can prepare dal according to your taste. For hotel-style dal, don’t skip it

Why Kashmiri chilli powder?

it makes kids spice-friendly versions of dal and also gives amazing color to the dal. If you are using regular chilli powder, reduce spice accordingly 

serving option

Dal tastes best with jeera rice. You can also serve it with other pulao varieties. It also goes well with chappati and paratha varieties.

Instant pot dal

Pressure cook for 10 minutes and follow the rest of the steps.

tadka variations
