Instructions

  1. Soak the lentils and the cracked wheat in enough water overnight.
  2. Add a tbsp of ghee to the pressure cooker, a tsp of the ginger garlic paste, chilli powder and the wheat along with the lentils.
  3. Pressure cook all of that with as much water required for 7 to 8 whistles. Make sure to add enough water.
  4. Deep fry the sliced onions first and then the almonds along with the cashewnuts. Pressure cook if making mutton, since I am using chicken, I have cooked it in a large pot.
  5. Add 2 to 3 tbsp of ghee to the pot, add in all the masalas, whole masalas and the chicken. Add in the beaten curd, cover and simmer until tender. Add in the soaked cashewnut paste.
  6. Mash both the wheat and the chicken. Discard the bones. Mash the wheat with a traditional ghotni (basically a masher). You can even blend in a mixer.
  7. Add in the onions, dry fruits and the remaining ghee. Allow it to simmer on a low heat.
  8. After about 20 minutes, garnish with coriander, mint leaves, lemon wedges, onion slices, almonds and cashewnuts. Serve hot.
