Add chana dal , salt , chilli and turmeric powder.
Fry for 7 minutes.
Pour 1 2 / 3 cup water and close the cooker lid.
Place cooker on full heat & bring to full cooking pressure.
Reduce to medium heat & cook for 5 minutes.
Allow cooker to cool gradually.
Once cooled , open it.
Add lightly fried cubes of paneer to the dal.
Simmer for 2 minutes.
