Method
- Start by rinsing the cracked wheat and lentils together until the water runs clear.
- Soak the cracked wheat and lentils in water for at least 30 minutes.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil or ghee over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook until golden brown, then stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute.
- Add the red chili powder, turmeric, cumin seeds, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Add the meat and cook until it’s browned on all sides.
- Drain the soaked grains and add them to the pot.
- Pour in enough water to cover the mixture, then bring it to a boil before reducing the heat.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Once cooked, use an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender in batches to puree the mixture until smooth.
- Return the blended mixture to the pot, add garam masala, and stir well.
- Let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes.
