Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Not a Dal Makhani but one of the other variations of that recipe - there are many recipes that vary the combination of lentils, spices, butter/cream etc. Still, urad lentils are delicious so I am making this version, sans the cream and not so much butter/ghee. Adapted to the Instant Pot, will refrigerate and cook for a couple of hours in the slow cooker tomorrow. Urad really benefits from a bit of slow cooking. I feel the ratios of ingredients is sometimes way out in this book. 2 cups of urad to 7 cups of water and 2 cups of tomato puree in a pressure cooker for a porridge consistency? I reduced the liquid a lot - I soaked the beans before cooking, but it still seems an incredible amount of liquid.
