Notes

  • Instead of garam masala , red chilli powder and coriander powder , you can also use curry powder to make spice paste
  • Whole spices while pressure cooking lentils is optional , it just adds mild flavour to soup ,you can skip if you don’t like.
  • As I have used water here instead of vegetable stock , to give some flavour I have added whole spices while cooking dal , If using vegetable stock you can omit whole spices.
