Dal



Serves: 3 - 4

Ingredients:
Toor dal – 2 cups, cooked
Onion – ¼ large, chopped
Tomato – 1, chopped
Cumin seeds – ½ tsp
Tumeric powder – ¼
Chilli powder – ½ tsp
Water – 2 ½ cups
Coriander leaves, chopped
Oil
Salt to taste

Method:
Cook the dal in a pressure cooker for about 5 to 6 whistles. Now in a heavy bottom pan, add oil once hot add the cumin seeds and let it crackle. Now add the onions and sauté till it becomes brown now add the tomatoes and sauté till it becomes mushy. Now add the turmeric and chilli powder and mix. Now add the dal and water and cook till the water comes to boil. Once you get the desired consistency add the coriander leaves. Serve hot with rice.
Note:
In case you want to have the dal for chapati, if the dal is slightly liquid, I like to let the water evaporate a little. and then just before serving, I like to add the tadka, heat oil and add dry red chilli, a pinch of hing and ¼ tsp jeera and pour this into the dal and cover. Serve hot.
Enjoy!
