It is prepared and served in Gurudwaras in Guru Da Langar by the Sewadars and <\/strong>my recipe just cannot be compared to the sacred divine dal prepared in Gurdwaras, as while preparing it, the Sewadars recite the holy Gurbani.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This divine dal is prepared with utmost \u00a0Sewa Bhav and the secret and sacred ingredient called love.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have tried to come closer to the taste through your hearts but the Langarwali dal prepared in the Gurudwaras touches our soul! But if this is prepared with a Holy mind and heart, it can taste not the same but a little closer to that of the Gurudwaras.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pick, wash and soak split black gram and split Bengal gram for 01 hour in four cups of water. Drain after 1 hour and rinse the dals.<\/p>\n

Pressure cook both the dals in three cups of water with salt , 1\/4th tsp. turmeric powder, 1\/2 tsp. of red chilli powder (you can add half the ginger too if you wish) and bay leaves for three to four whistles. Open the lid and see if the dals are cooked. If not, cook on low heat till well-cooked.<\/p>\n

With the help of a Wooden Madhani (Hand Blender \/ Churner ), mix the dals thoroughly.<\/p>\n

Heat ghee in a heavy bottomed non-stick pan. Add cumin seeds. When they begin to crackle, add asafoetida , Coarsely ground ginger, garlic and green chillies.<\/p>\n

Add the tomato puree \/ chopped tomatoes and saut\u00e9 on high flame till you observe the ghee oozing out from all the sides.<\/p>\n

Add the cooked and mashed dals along with the cooking liquor.<\/p>\n

Bring it to a boil.<\/p>\n

Keep stirring the dal in order to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
\nAdjust salt. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Chef Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You may use a combination of 3 dals that is Whole Black gram,\u00a0 Bengal gram dal and\u00a0Whole green gram or Moth in the ratio 2:1:1.<\/li>\n
  2. If Urad i.e. whole black gram is not available you may add spilt black gram instead of it.<\/li>\n
  3. If Dals are soaked overnight , you may slow cook the dals instead of pressure cooking it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
