- Heat oil in a stovetop pressure cooker. Crackle the cumin first.
- Add the onions and saute stirring often till they become translucent.
- Add the ginger and green chilies and saute for 10 to 15 seconds.
- Now add the tomatoes and all the dry spice powders. Saute till the tomatoes soften. Keep on stirring.
- Now add the chana dal and stir. Add the chopped lauki (bottle gourd) and salt as required. Pour water and stir.
- Cover with the lid and pressure cook for about 4 to 5 whistles on a high heat.
- This lauki chana dal gravy has a medium consistency.
- When the pressure drops on its own, then only remove the lid and stir the chopped coriander leaves.
- You can also garnish the curry with coriander leaves. Serve lauki chana dal hot with phulkas or rotis.
