Clean the meat and add curd, turmeric, chilli, coriander powder, ginger garlic paste, salt and keep the meat over night or at least for 4-5 hrs in the refrigerator for marination.
Soak lentils (chana dal) in water for an hour.
In a heated wok add oil and tamper with cloves and cardamom. As they start crackling add sliced onion and seasoning. On medium heat fry the onion till crispy golden.
Add the marinated meat into it and fry till you observe oil coming on the surface.
Add lentil in the meamixture and fry for another 3 -4 minutes. (Sprinkle some water if necessary)
Transfer the meat and dal mixture in a pressure cooker and cook in high heat till a whistle goes off. After that lower the heat and cook for another 5-10 minutes till the meat is done. (Adjust according to your cooker.)
When your meat is done check the salt, add garam masala powder, bay leaf and cover for 5 minutes to infuse the flavor.
Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot! Of course along with bread, rice, pulao and salad, as you wish.
I served with zeera rice..
