Boil the soaked chana dal with a pinch of turmeric and salt until just tender, then drain and set aside.
2
Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and let it reach smoking point before lowering the heat.

Add cumin seeds, bay leaves, green cardamom, and cinnamon sticks, allowing them to crackle in the oil.
4
Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown and caramelized.
5
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, and remaining turmeric powder, cooking for 2 minutes.
6
Add the soaked and drained basmati rice, gently tossing to coat the grains in the fragrant oil and spices.
7
Mix in the cooked chana dal and pour in 4 cups of water, adding salt to taste.
8
Bring to a boil, then cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes until rice is cooked.
9
Prepare the tilauri chutney by lightly crushing and frying the tilauri, then blending with fresh herbs and spices.
10
Whisk the yogurt and season with roasted cumin and black salt to create the accompanying raita.
11
Fluff the chana dal pulao gently with a fork and garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves.
