----Formal ----

Girl: माँ मुझे दाल बनाना सिखाओगे?

Mother: अच्छा, तो अभी हाथ धोकर आ जाओ।

Girl: बताओ क्या करना है।

Mother: एक गिलास भर के पीली दाल उस रंगीले डब्बे से निकालो और कुकर में डालों। अब इसको पानी से अच्छे से हाथ से हिलाकर धो लो।

Girl: एक गिलास में काफ़ी है? धो लिया, अब?

Mother: हाँ यह बढ़ जाएगा। अब पानी को गिरा दो। सावधानी से ताकि दाल न गिरे।

Girl: फिर दोबारा पानी भरना है इस में?

Mother: हाँ अब जितना था उसका दो गुना पानी डालकर, आग पे बिठाओ। थोड़ा नमक, थोड़ी हल्दी डालकर ढक्कन बंद करो और सींटी का इन्तज़ार करो।

Mother: Take out a cup full of the yellow lentils from that multicolored carton and put it into the pressure cooker. Now wash this well, using your hands to soak and mix the lentils.

Girl: Will one full cup be enough? I washed it, now?

Mother: Yes, this will rise. Now pour out the water. Be careful that the beans don't fall out.
