Stovetop method
Prep 5 min · Cook 25–30 min · Serves 2–3
You'll need: 1 kit (dal + spice pack) · 3 cups water · 1 tsp oil or ghee · 1 tomato chopped (optional) · medium saucepan with lid
1
Rinse the dal under cold running water until the water runs clear.
2
Heat 1 tsp oil or ghee in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the spice pack and stir for 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
Toasting the spices unlocks deeper, richer flavor.
3
If using tomato, add chopped tomato now and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft.
Tomato adds a slight tang and richness — completely optional.
4
Add rinsed dal and 3 cups water. Stir and bring to a boil over high heat.
5
Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 25–30 minutes — stirring occasionally — until dal is completely soft.
Add more water if it gets too thick.
6
Add salt to taste. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and fresh cilantro. Serve hot.
Tip: Dal fry thickens as it cools — add a splash of water and reheat to restore consistency.
Electric pressure cooker method
Instant Pot or any brand · Prep 5 min · Total 25 min · Serves 2–3
You'll need: 1 kit (dal + spice pack) · 2.5 cups water · 1 tsp oil or ghee · 1 tomato chopped (optional) · electric pressure cooker
1
Rinse the dal under cold running water until clear.
2
Set to Sauté mode. Add oil or ghee and spice pack. Stir 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
3
If using tomato, add now and sauté 2 minutes until soft. Cancel Sauté.
4
Add rinsed dal and 2.5 cups water. Secure lid and set valve to Sealing.
5
Pressure cook on High for 8 minutes. Allow 10 minutes natural release then vent remaining steam.
Chana dal needs longer cook time than masoor dal.
6
Stir well, add salt and lemon to taste. Top with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
Tip: Dal fry is meant to be thick — if too thin, use Sauté mode for 2–3 minutes after cooking to reduce.
