Method
Start by soaking the lentils for atleast two hours or preferably overnight – this helps reduce the cooking time.
Once soaked, in a pressure cooker add oil and once warm add in the red chili along with cumin seeds and the bay leaf.
Now add in a finely sliced onion, chopped garlic and a slit green chili and saute until golden brown.
Once nicely brown add in all the powdered spices. Cook until they loose their raw smell and emit a nice aroma.
Next add the pureed tomatoes and cook for another two minutes.
Now add in the soaked lentils along with some chopped coriander leaves.
Add enough water to just about cover the lentils.
Pressure cook for two whistles and then simmer for another 10 mins.
Your yummy Masoor is ready.
