1

First up: Wash, Clean & Boil the Dal with just 2 whistles or else, can do it simply in a kadhai/wok/pan itself... Check it out & set aside post turning off the flame...apply some salt & turmeric powder to the prawns before 15-20 mins of frying it
2

Now, in another frying pan: Add in the mustard oil & gently sauté the prawns 🍤 just for not more than 2 mins time...else, it’ll turn out rubbery- Set aside

Heat up a frying pan over the medium flame: Add in the Tempering Spices to it, sauté until it releases nice aroma- Now, add in the onions, sauté until translucent
4

Add in the Ginger & Garlic Paste, sauté until the raw smell goes off- add in the chopped tomatoes & green chillies, green peas & some salt- Sauté nicely, until it’s cooked really well- cover it to let it cook for about 5-6 mins time, stirring occasionally in between
5

Goes in the boiled dal into it now...mix everything well together until nicely combined, add in the sautéed prawns...pour in some more water and give it a nice mix too
6

Cover it & allow it to cook for another 5-7 mins time, stirring occasionally in between- checkout the consistency needed
7

Add in the salt (if required at all), add in the ghee, garam masala, bhuna masala, etc. and give it all a really good mix
8

Turn off the flame now & let it sit on the hot oven for the next 10-15 mins time by covering it with its lid on... Dish out after that...

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
