      To begin, wash and soak the horse gram in water for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Add it to a pressure cooker with 2 cups of water and 1 tsp salt. Cook it on high heat for one whistle. Reduce the heat and cook for another 20 minutes or until done. Alternatively, you can cook it in a saucepan but it would take much longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      In the meantime, dry roast the black sesame seeds in a pan and keep them aside to cool.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Grind together the roasted sesame seeds, ginger garlic paste, and green chillies in mustard oil into a coarse paste.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Add this paste to the boiled dal. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes until nice and creamy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Dai Nei Iong is ready to serve. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with boiled rice.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
