Steps

1To begin making the Dhaba Style Green Moong Dal Makhani Recipe, soak the green moong dal in 3 cups of water for about 2 hours.
2Into the pressure cooker, add a teaspoon of oil. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and saute until the onions soften.
3Once the onions have softened, add the chopped tomato and saute until the tomatoes soften.
4Once the tomatoes have softened, add the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder and salt to taste.
5Stir to combine the masalas. After a minute, add the soaked green moong dal along with 3 cups of water and pressure cook the Dhaba style Green Moong for 6 to 8 whistles.
6Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.
