Quick & easy lentil recipe

Easy to cook dal(lentils) oil free. I wish to share a very simple recipe. The following recipe tastes best with Moong dal(yellow lentils), but also works with red lentils. Give it a try, and share your experiences.
The quick & easy way is --

1.Wash the lentil/dal well.
2.Soak for 30 minutes, and then drain the water.
3.Add the lentil to a pan ( pressure cooker if using).
4.Add 3 times water(if using 1 cup of dal, use 3 cups water) and salt to taste.
5.Add chopped ginger and garlic.
6.Add a green chilli slitted(for less heat, remove the seeds before adding).
7.Cook in low-medium heat until lentils are soft.(if using pressure cooker, until the cooker whistels.)
8. Mash the lentils well, I use a hand beater.
9.Add chopped tomatoes, & chopped corriander, adjust water to required consistency, if too thick. Cook covered for another minute. If you wish to make it thicker,cook uncovered.
(If using pressure cooker, add tomatoes along with the lentils at step 3.)

This lentil goes very well with Plain rice/jeera rice /puffed rotis.
It is recommended that pressure cooker be used in cooking lentils, beans etc. It is a very efficient way to cook healthy meals in much lesser time, and also helps cut your energy bill. Try it and you'll fall in love with it.
