A healthy and quick receipe which I prepare frequently..Especially for ladies it gives lot of strength to the bones.. Required ingredients : Urad dhal with skin 1/4 cup Rice 3/4 cup Water 2 - 2 1/5 cups Oil 3 spoons ( I prefer gingerly oil ) Jeera 1 spoon Fenugreek seeds - little Garlic 4 - 7 crushed Hing - a pinch Turmeric - a pinch Salt as per taste Curry leaves Green chilli 1 Red chilli powder - 1/2 spoon Heat your pressure cooker with oil, add jeera, hing, fenugreek,crushed garlic,green chilli,curry leaves one by one..sauté it for a minute..now add water..bring it a boil, now add turmeric and little red chilli powder..add salt..give a taste test at this point..now it is time to add rice and dhal..you can even soak it for 1/2 hour or you can add it directly..if you soak the rice and dhal..the cooking time gets reduced..now listen to 2 or 3 whistles..switch off the stove..wait for ten more minutes for the steam to escape and now your urad dhal rice is ready to be served.. note : you can also use skinless urad dhal..but the authentic way of preparing is with black skin urad dhal..
