my kitchen notes
Yes Mara, I did. I add just like 1/2 cup or so to the cooker. And then place a vessel with the dal along with the water mentioned. This can be done without a separate vessel as well provided your dal does not exceed half of the cooker (in height). Otherwise water dal mixture tends to seep out while cooking. Hope this helps :) --DK
Stir frying the leaves reduces the bitterness, which is why I do it that way. --DK
I haven't - its at step 4 along with onions :) --DK
Oh yes it will. Prepare everything else as mention (except the leaves) and towards the end, crush the dried methi (kasoor methi) and add it to the dal. I think something on the lines of 2-3 tbsp (adjust as per taste) would work. Do you get frozen methi? That would work equally well too. It should be available in the freezer section of Indian grocery stores. I see it in all the Indian stores here --DK
