Ingredients

2

half cup Tur dal

2 cups Water

quarter teaspoon Turmeric powder

1 tablespoon Cooking oil

Salt as per taste

1 teaspoon Sugar

2 tbsp Oil

1 teaspoon Mustard seeds

1 teaspoon Cumin seeds

quarter teaspoon Hing

4 pieces Garlic Cloves, Chopped

6 pieces Curry leaves

Fresh coconut as per taste

Coriander leaves as per taste

Tips

Adjust the consistency of the dal by adding more or less water as per your preference.

For an extra kick, add chopped green chilies to the tadka.

To bring out more flavor, use homemade ghee in the tadka instead of oil.

Directions

Rinse the tur dal in cold water multiple times until the water runs clear. Place the rinsed dal in a bowl with 2 cups of water and soak for 1 hour.

Transfer the soaked dal to a pressure cooker, add turmeric and a little oil. Cook for 3-4 whistles or until the dal is soft and fully cooked. Let the pressure release naturally.

Once the dal is cooked, mash it gently and whisk until smooth.

Add hot water to the dal to adjust the consistency to your preference. Turn on the flame and bring the dal to a simmer.

Add salt and sugar to the dal and mix well.

In a small pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.

Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to splutter.

Add hing, minced garlic, and curry leaves. Fry for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic turns golden brown.

Pour the prepared tadka into the simmering dal and mix well.

Allow the dal to cook for an additional 2-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Garnish the dal with fresh coconut and coriander. Serve hot with rice, ghee, and dal.

Notes

Individuals with specific food allergies (e.g., hing, garlic) should avoid the dish.

People on a low-sodium diet should moderate their salt intake when preparing this recipe.
