Chef's Notes
Cooking dal and rice simultaneously in one pot is a masterclass in efficiency. Do not rush the natural pressure release, or your rice will end up crunchy and your pressure cooker will exact its vengeance on your kitchen ceiling.
Pro Tip
When roasting the tomato over an open flame, use metal tongs and rotate it slowly so the skin blisters evenly without turning into charcoal dust.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Forgetting to add water to the outer pressure cooker chamber will turn your dal into a solid concrete brick, earning you a one-way ticket to takeout town.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the dal break up with the rice? It felt like their relationship was just going round and round in a pressure cooker!
The Culinary Science
Charring the tomato over an open flame triggers the Maillard reaction and caramelizes natural sugars, infusing the chokha with complex smokiness that boiling could never achieve.
