Suggestions for boiling:
If you are using pressure cooker , you can boil both rice and dal at the same time .Take 2 cups of water in a cooker .Wash the dal throughly  and place in the cooker Then wash the rice throughly and place it above dal's vessel in a similar manner .Close the cooker and let it cook till it whistles 2 times.
You can boil rice by simply putting it in the microwave for 20 minutes.
Or if you are not using any one of this,simply put it on gas with a lid on,it will take hardly 20 to 25 minutes to cook both dal and rice.
I understand that everybody knows how to boil but I am writing for youngsters who have never cooked so thought of giving little more information.
Hope you will try this, and like it.
