I followed this recipe and loved it first time Next time around I did a minor modification, where I prepared the masala in the cooker itself .. and then added lauki and chana dal. I felt the lauki was more flavorful that way. Please tell me if that was an incorrect way of cooking it, i am a beginner and still exploring. Thanks a ton though :)

Suggestion: it’s tasty n simple recipe. I tried this recipe but used Chana instead of Chana dal. It’s good n tasty. I think while seasoning, if we add a teaspoon full of ginger garlic paste might enhance the flavour n taste.
