Considering the innumerable positivities of microwave cooking and all your likes of my previous microwave cooked post, I decided on making Dal Pancharatna in microwave and was amazed at the flavour it emanated after cooking. Though it took me some more time than making in the pressure cooker, I was most happy with the result because of its delightful taste. For all those who prefer cooking in the microwave do try out this simple and easy recipe....

Procedure:
Soak Arhar daal, Chana daal n Urad daal for 3 hrs in warm water. This is because the more you soak the lesser time it will take to cook. Soak Moong n Masoor for half an hour. Now boil the lentils with turmeric and salt in a covered micro-safe bowl at 100% power for 30-35 minutes. Take it out. Now in a separate bowl heat oil and ghee together at 100% power for 1 minute. Add cumin seeds, chopped onions, ginger, garlic. Cook for 2-3minutes at 100% power. Stir in between. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes at 100% power. Now pour the content in the bowl with boiled dal/lentils, add red mirch powder and green chillies and again cook for 2 minutes at 100% power covered with lid. Your aromatic Dal Pancharatna is ready to be served with steamed rice or fulkas/paranthas/naan.....Enjoy!!
