1

Take mash daal and chana daal and wash them and get rid of the water.
2

Put oil and onion in pressure cooker and cook till onion is golden
3

Then add chilli paste or you can also use (1/2 tablespoon ginger, 1/2 tablespoon garlic and 1 tablespoon chilli powder instead)
4

Add turmeric, coriander powder, 2 chillies and tomato and slight dash of water (so spices don't start burning)
5

Immediately add salt and chilli flakes as well
6

Fry till oil separates
7

Add 4 cups of water and add daal and put on pressure at medium flame for 8 minutes
8

After opening pressure, check if daal is soft. Check the bottom of the cooker if there is still more gravy. You can put pressure again for 1 more minute if it's needed. Be careful that you dont end up with daal that's too mushy!

Once ready, add fresh coriander leaves and one green chilli and masala powder for garnishing. Chana Mash Daal is ready!
