… which directly translates to tempered lentils,\u00a0a must-have side dish almost a few times a week in our household. It’s so easy to make, there’s no excuse not to make it.<\/p>\nI<\/span>n fact, did I mention that tadka dal is packed with nutrients, protein and oh so delicious? See, no more excuses not to make it.<\/p>\n

\nIf dal is something that you love having a few times a week, investing in a good pressure cooker will be a smart move. There’s no way to convince me of making dal otherwise.<\/p>\n

I’m not about to waste 30 to 40 minutes everyday, stirring and boiling a pot of dal until its cooked to perfection. Rather, just let the pressure cooker do its thing.<\/p>\n

\nThe only person that I’ve failed to coax into using pressure cooker is my mom. I’ve seen her slaving over pots of simmering lentils, day in day out. Till date, she still does it old school.<\/p>\n

I have so much admiration for her unique ways, but why chip away so much time just over pots of lentils? Because dad loves it that way. Apparently, when it’s all about love\u00a0between\u00a0them, kitchen equipments take a backseat.<\/p>\n

Wooden spoons, ancient cooking\u00a0vessels and lots of stirring takes center stage. And trust me, it tastes the same using\u00a0pressure cooker. Sorry mom!! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
