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.
