Ingredients:

For the Moong Masoor Dal:

1 cup split yellow moong dal
1/2 cup split red masoor dal (red lentils)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 green chilies, chopped
1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
3 cups water
For the Boiled Rice:

1 cup basmati rice
2 cups water
Salt to taste
Instructions:

Rinse and Soak Lentils:
Start by rinsing the moong dal and masoor dal under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, soak them in water for about 30 minutes. This step helps in reducing the cooking time.

Prepare Boiled Rice:
Rinse the basmati rice until the water runs clear. In a separate pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice and a pinch of salt. Cook the rice until it's tender but not mushy. Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and set it aside.

Cook the Lentils:
In a pressure cooker or a deep pan, heat a tablespoon of oil. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then, add chopped onions and saut until they turn golden brown. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and green chilies.

Add Spices:
Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Stir well to coat the onions with the spices. This step infuses the lentils with a rich and aromatic flavor.

Add Tomatoes:
Incorporate the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil begins to separate from the masala.

Cook Lentils:
Drain the soaked lentils and add them to the pot. Mix well, allowing the lentils to absorb the flavors of the spices. Pour in 3 cups of water and season with salt.

Pressure Cook:
If using a pressure cooker, close the lid and cook for about 3-4 whistles. If using a regular pot, cover it with a lid and simmer until the lentils are tender, stirring occasionally.

Garnish and Serve:
Once the lentils are cooked, check for consistency and adjust the water if needed. Garnish the dal with fresh coriander leaves.

Serve with Boiled Rice:
Serve the Moong Masoor Dal over a bed of fragrant boiled rice. The combination of the dal's creamy texture and the fluffy rice creates a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
