Add in chopped onion,tomato and GGP and stir it once..Add in powders and cook (salt,chilli powder,turmeric and corinader) til soft and mushy..

Now add in pressure cooked dal-paneer and  mix well every thing.....Finally cook this for 3 more minutes and add freshly chopped cilantro.....

Add a spoon of ghee on top and serve with rice n papad..........

MY NOTES

If you are lazy to cook just mix the onions,tomatoes,spices powders along with dal and paneer and pressure cook......Prepare the temper separately and in dal......

Can skip coriander powder and replace it with 1/4 tsp fresh garam masala.

You can try this with  tofu instead of paneer.I hope it works out..Can replace toor dal with moong dal too.

Add only ghee not oil.....

Fry the onions and tomatoes add in pressure cooked dal and give a temper separately and add in dal.Some times I go in this way........
