I call this double dhal because it has two different types of pulses and both sweet and regular potatoes. The main change was to include the potatoes because I wanted a whole meal in a pot. I also trebled the recipe so I could freeze it off in batches. I have a fairly big pressure and this lot barely fit so if you have a small one, maybe halve the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups channa dal
1 cup green lentil
6 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons minced ginger
