Notes
1.Always soak the chana dal or pressure cook for many whistles to make it tender.
2.Here I have used just chana dal but, mixture of chana dal and toor dal too can be used.
3.Add water as per the requirement if dalcha consistency required is thin.
4.If the dalcha has turned sour add a pinch of sugar to balance the sour flavor.
