Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Soaking the dals for 4‑5 hours (ensures proper cooking)
- • Mashing yellow moong dal to a silky, lacy texture
- • Leaving bite‑size pieces in chana dal for texture contrast
- • Achieving oil separation in the tomato‑spice base of green moong dal
- • Rolling pakwan thin enough for crispness but not so thin that it tears
- • Frying pakwan at moderate temperature (≈180°C) to avoid oil absorption
Safety Warnings
- • Handle hot oil with care; avoid splatter.
- • Release pressure from the cooker slowly to prevent steam burns.
- • Use oven‑mitts when handling hot pans and pots.
