In a pressure cooker, take about 1/8 cup each of toor daal, yellow moong daal, green moon daal, and Chana daal. This should make half cup. Now add about half cup masoor daal. Wash all the daals, add water, salt, turmeric and 1 cut up tomato. Cook for 5-6 whistles and let the pressure release. Remove the tomato peels, and mix the daal with a ladle (keep some texture). Heat some peanut oil, add jeera, 1 whole red chilli, 2 cloves chopped garlic, 1/4 of a chopped red onion, a big pinch of hing and let it sauté. Once the onion starts to get brown on the edges, add chopped cilantro and 1/2 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder. Add to the daal, add some more cilantro, mix and cook for a minute or two. Serve with warm rice and ghee.

Heat some ghee, add musturd seeds, let crackle, add zeera, curry leaves and hing. Add the chaas with grated ginger, haldi, red chilli, chopped cilantro, salt and sugar. Let it come to a boil, add the muthia, cover and cook for 8-10 mins til...
