Steps

15 minutes
  1. 1

    First, take the masoor dal (red lentils) in a bowl, wash it with water 3-4 times to clean it thoroughly. Add water to the dal and cover it, setting it aside for 30 minutes or an hour.

    After 30 minutes or an hour, drain the water from the dal and pour it into a pan. Add turmeric powder and salt, then add water and mix well. Place it on medium heat and let it simmer until the dal is cooked and all the water is absorbed. Once the dal is cooked and the water has dried up, turn off the gas and transfer the cooked dal to a plate.

Cooking isn’t just something I do — it’s a piece of my heart, served on a plate.From the sizzle of spices in hot oil to the quiet joy of kneading dough with my hands, every dish I make carries a story, a memory, a feeling. Whether it's comfort food on rainy days or something bold that sparks curiosity, cooking is how I express love, creativity, and care.Each ingredient, every flavor, speaks of passion — not just for food, but for the smiles it brings, the moments it creates, and the warmth it spreads.✨ This isn’t just food. It’s a part of me.Come join my journey:https://www.instagram.com/krishna_recipes_?igsh=MXIzdzYwMXJ0Nno3OQ==
