Wash the dal well 3-4 times with water and keep it soaked for 30 minutes. Drain, add to a pressure cooker with the turmeric, radish slices, 1 teaspoon salt and 1½ cups water. Cook until the dal and radish are completely cooked
Heat a shallow cooking pot with the mustard oil until it smokes, lower the heat and add in the cumin seeds, dried chilis and bay leaf. Once the seeds crackle, add the cooked dal and mix well
Add water if needed to adjust the consistency, and simmer for 7-8 minutes. Turn the heat off and add the garam masala, ghee and coriander leaves. Keep covered for 5 minutes
Serve this simple, sumptuous and soulful mulor dal with steamed rice along with some papad on the side. Enjoy!
