Steps

1 hr 30 min

1

First of all wash and soak the whole urad and rajma for 6 to 8 hours. You can even use split urad dal instead of the whole urad. If you do not have the time to soak then use split urad dal and a little more water while cooking in the pressure cooker.
2

Now drain, wash and add it to the pressure cooker along with 4 cups of water, chopped green chillies, ginger, garlic, dry red chillies, bay leaf, tomatoes, salt and 3 tbsp of ghee. Now cook it for 45 minutes on medium to low heat or 8 to 10 whistles.
3

Let the pressure come down. Urad and rajma should be cooked properly. Add it to a pot. Mash it lightly with the back of a serving spoon so that it becomes creamy. Add some water to it.
4

Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a pan. Add cumin and bay leaf to it. When cumin browns, add finely chopped onion, ginger and garlic paste to it and saute it for 2 minutes. Now add red chilli powder to it and add it to the dal. Mix everything well and cook it on medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes.
5

Now add garam masala, kasuri methi, butter and fresh cream to it and give it a good mix. Cook for couple of minutes and turn off the heat.
6

Serve it hot with more butter and fresh cream. It goes really well with roti, naan and jeera rice.
