Wow cake using dhal! Awesome will try it. I've a question. Do we need to pressure cook the dal? in that case wont it become smashed. How can I powder it?
Hi getstrngth, Thanks for your post. Dhal can be cooked either in pressure cooker or in a pan with just 1 cup of water. let it be just half cooked and not too soft. Drain off the water completely. spread it on a plate to cool. when it cools completely , put in the mixie and pulse to make powder . dhal can be cooked in pressure cooker just 2 whistles.
