Awadhi cuisine belongs to the royal city of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh. The cuisine boasts of rich flavours, use of milk, cream, yogurt and the delicious aroma which comes from the use of saffron, cardamom and other whole spices in most preparations.
Wash the dal and soak it in 2 cups of water for 15 mins.
In a pressure cooker, add the water and the soaked dal. Season with salt, red chilli powder, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves and ginger garlic paste.
Mix them all well. Turn on the flame and let the dal and the spices come to a slow boil (take about 10 mins). Put the lid on the pressure cooker and cook it for 2-3 whistles.
Let the steam release slowly on it’s own from the cooker.
In the mean while, soak Kesar in 1 tsp of milk and let it rest.
Also, whisk curd until smooth and add the remaining milk to it. Whisk again to make a smooth paste. Set it aside.
Open the pressure cooker, remove all the whole spices. Now, add the saffron (Kesar) infused milk to the dal. Mix them well and mash the dal with the back of your spoon as you mix.
Now, let the dal cool down a bit for 5 mins. Then, add the whisked milk and curd paste. Mix it well with the dal. Boil the dal for another 4-5 mins on low flame. Turn off the flame.
Prepare the tempering: Heat ghee in a pan, add jeera, hing and chopped chillies and let all splutter for 1 min.
Add this tempering to the dal, garnish with chopped coriander and serve piping hot with plain rice, Tehri (North Indian mixed veg rice) or with Laccha Parathas. Add a squirt of lime juice for that extra tang with the spiciness of the green.
