I made this for our dinner tonight. I used 4 green chillies instead of 3 and just 1/2 tbsp. of oil instead of 2 tbsps. I used a little over 1 1/2 tsps. of salt for this. The only problem was the 6 cups of water was a little too less for this. The dal stuck to the bottom of the pressure cooker. Moreover, because of insufficient water, the pressure cooker failed to release pressure at all and I was worried sick. Luckily, just some got burnt and the rest I managed to save JUST in time. I'll be adding 4-5 cups more of water next time. The dal is very tasty as it is now..It is thick and yummy. It would be a shame to let such a nice dal get burnt again. It went well with hot rotis and some dahi boondhi. Thanks for sharing{from a Sindhi girl}! UPDATE: I'm having some today for my lunch!:)
