Notes

  • The pressure cooker is used in this recipe to ease the cooking process. Pot cooking can be done with the same measurement of ingredients.
  • White or yellow onion gives a sweet taste. I used red onion in this recipe.
  • Skinned split black gram is used in this recipe. This is the main ingredient that gives the flavor and taste to this recipe.
  • The whole or split black gram without skin can be replaced in this recipe if you prefer.
  • Dry ginger powder can be replaced with whole dry ginger. Crush or partly grind it before adding.
