Notes
1.Dal gets cooked easily if it is soaked before for atleast half an hour to one hour.
2.If no time to soak the dal then pressure cook it for a long time or give 5-6 whistles.
3.The quality of the dal too matters in pressure cooking the dal quickly.
4.Here I have added garlic cloves, urad dal, chana dal into the tadka, however they can be skipped if they are not preferred.
5.One can also skip the tamarind piece which I have added in making the dal.
