A: Yes! This recipe works beautifully without garlic and onion for those who avoid them. Q: How long should I soak chana dal? A: Soak overnight for best results. If you forget, soak in lukewarm water for 2 hours — it works just as well! Q: Why should I wash soaked dal before cooking? A: The water from soaked pulses develops an odour overnight. Always drain and rinse with fresh water 2–3 times for the best taste. Q: Can I use a regular pan instead of a cooker? A: Bhavanaben highly recommends the cooker — it saves time, gas, and gives more flavour with less oil and spices. Q: How much water should I add? A: About 1 cup. Add slightly more if serving with rice/khichdi, slightly less for roti or bhakhri. Q: Can I skip Kitchen King masala? A: Yes, but it adds a wonderful depth of flavour. You can substitute with garam masala. --- ⏱️ Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 — Introduction & Why This Recipe Changes Everything 00:39 — Heating Oil & Adding Tempering Spices 01:03 — Adding Khada Masala (Whole Spices) 01:13 — Frying Garlic 01:31 — Adding Finely Chopped Curry Leaves 01:54 — Adding Onion & Frying 02:29 — Adding Tomatoes 03:22 — Adding Dry Spices & Masala 03:37 — Cooking Until Oil Separates 04:35 — Checking Masala Base is Ready 04:58 — Adding Soaked Chana Dal 06:03 — Adding Dudhi (Bottle Gourd) 06:44 — Frying Dudhi & Dal Together 06:53 — Adding Kitchen King Masala 07:04 — Adding Water 08:00 — Pressure Cook for 2 Whistles 08:12 — Opening Cooker & Checking Colour 08:32 — Adding Kasuri Methi, Coriander & Desi Ghee 09:00 — Serving & Final Look 😍 09:06 — Like, Subscribe & Bell Icon Request --- #️⃣ Hashtags #DudhiDalNuShaak #DudhiChanaDal #KathiyawadiSwad #BhavanabNRathod #GujaratiShaak #BottleGourdRecipe #DudhiNuShaak #GujaratiRecipe #IndianVegetarian #CookerRecipe #DesiGhee #LaukiChanaDal #GujaratiFood #ShaakRecipe #EverydayCooking #HealthyIndianFood #KathiyawadiRecipe #GujaratiKhana #BottleGourdCurry #DalShaak __________________________________ Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @kathiyawadiswad   For any business enquiries you may email us at : [email protected] Please do like share and subscribe to our channel for more videos.
