Instructions
All this set up is for steaming the Dal mixture. You might find this method strange but it works.
Be careful about your hand. It should not come in contact with the cooker walls and boiling water.
Cover the lid of the cooker (do not keep the whistle over the cooker lid) and let it cook for 15 minutes on medium flame.
The idea is to only provide steam to Dal paste, hence we don't need to lock the cooker lid. Once done, switch off the stove and take out the tin from the cooker.
