  23. hi santosh ... i found your site today on petit chef ... the presentation is lovely ... the first recipe i read was for keema koftas ... i wanted to try it but you gave no indication of how much water in the pressure cooker with keema and dahl ... so i moved on to the next one ... which was kala channa ... the photo makes it look so mouth watering! although for good health reasons i would reduce the amount of ghee/ oil to at least half ... but here again ... there was no instruction about how much water to put in when cooking the channa! Also i have done much research on dahls and beans ... it is necessary to throw out water they are soaking in and then rinsed also ... because all the starches etc that you are trying to remove by soaking, are in the water. so fresh water is important. anyways, i hope if i stay tuned to your site, these 2 recipes might include instructions of water amounts, in the future. i really want to try them... and thanks for all your hard work.

  24. oh and santosh ... i just posted ... from anonymous above ... the kala channa also doesn't say how much oil/ghee you used ... i just know i would reduce by looking at the photo ... as there is alot of fat swimming on the top. hope you don't mind my feedback.thanks again.
