Instructions
Soak some whole black lentil and rajma together for about 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
Soak chana dal separately as well in a separate bowl overnight.
Pressure cook chana dal separately for about 4-5 whistle on high flame. Once done let the pressure released on its own.
Once chana dal gets cooked well, mash the chana dal properly.
Add black cardamom, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cloves and salt.
Now add soaked black urad dal and rajma to it.
Add an ample amount of water and pressure cook everything together for 10 to 11 whistle.
Once done, let it open on its own.
Now take out 1/4 quantity of cooked dal in a bowl and let it cool down. (leave the rest of the dal in the pressure cooker itself)
Once it gets cold add the cooked dal in a mixer grinder and grind it until smooth.
Now keep the pressure cooker on the stove again on a low flame.
Add the ground paste of dal in it.
Add some slit green chilli and roughly sliced ginger to it.
Add some water and mix everything well and cover.
Now cook for about 45-50 minutes on a low flame stirring in between.
When you see that the bubbles are getting smaller and dal has reduced and thickened turn the flame off and let it cool down.
By the time dal is getting cold make a paste of onion.
Now take a bowl to add some coriander powder, mango powder, red chilli powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder, ginger powder and garam masala powder.
Take a kadhai or a large pot, add some ghee or oil to it.
Add the onion paste and cook them until it is well cooked.
Add some turmeric powder and ginger garlic paste and cook well.
Now add tomato puree and salt to it and cook until the oil starts separating from sides.
Now add the ground spice mix and cook for few more minutes.
Now add some milk and water and let it boil.
Its time to add cooked dal and cover with the lid.
Cook for about 15-20 minutes.
Now add fenugreek leaves and butter to it. Mix well.
It's time to turn off the flame and add fresh cream.
