It’s Sunday and I bring to you what is prepared in GuruDwaras/ Mega Kitchens of India. It’s the traditional curry which has been served for years in our GuruDwaras. We all Indians love this and enjoy the fragrance it has, the way it soothes our taste buds. However, I have prepared this in the shortest way possible. The traditional method may include more steps which I have skipped. However, It’s possible to bring that taste preparing the way I have done.
Here is the secret what I have learned during these days since I started cooking. And I am going to reveal this to everyone. This is the shortest method ever to prepare pulses. Hence you can apply this method to any pulse you want to prepare at home. Let me know in the comment section if you happen to try this method. It’s a simple method and you can’t even judge that I did put onions/ tomatoes while preparing. The end product will be same as you prepare pulses in a traditional way.
