Soak urad and rajma in a bowl overnight. Cook them in a pressure cooker (do not add salt). Drain and keep the excess water in a bowl.
Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once the seeds begin to crackle add finely chopped green chillies, turmeric powder and finely chopped onion. Add ginger garlic paste and mix well. Sauté on low heat, till it turns golden brown.
Add the tomato puree and allow it to boil. Add coriander powder, red chilli powder and boil on medi-um flame (7-8 mins) till oil separates.
Add the cooked lentils & the drained water and mix well.
Add milk, salt, garam masala and kasuri methi. Boil for 5-6 mins.
Add finely chopped coriander leaves, fresh butter for garnishing & few drops of lemon extract.
Remember to always check and adjust the taste before serving. Serve it with Indian bread (roti, kulcha, nan) or rice. The curry will be creamy and delicious with rich in protein & carbohydrates. Try this simple Punjabi dish and impress everyone.
Happy cooking! Bon Appetite!!
Note:-
Adding salt undercooks the lentils. So add salt to season the curry only in the later stages.
Using the excess water from the cooked lentils gives a better taste and flavor compared to normal water.
