Yet another Dal!

Well actually Amma told me that this has a name but in all haste I missed asking her what this dal is called. But then I always believe whats in a name, when something can hold on its forte all by itself right! She said she had made this remembering something she had read a long time ago and it came out really good. Wanted me to try and yes, though this sounds so much like the normal one that I make, it had that something of a different touch that it makes it stand out.

And the weekend being so hectic as usual that I don't even want to think about it, there isn't really no reason why I should talk about the days becoming more hectic. These days boys take forever to sleep, hence you can see the slow down of new dishes happening here. That does mean I dont' cook, but nothing new is coming out of the kitchen off late. So I have nothing to entertain than this simple yet delicious Dal, which IMHO, is the best. If you know that abberviation, well and good. But if you are like me, well I can't help by saying what it stands for..:)

Ingredients Needed:

Toor dal - 100 gms
Onion - 1 small
Garlic - 4 flakes medium, chopped as thin slices
Tomato puree - 125 gms
Green Chillies - 4 long
Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil - 1 tsp

Method to prepare:

Pressure Cook Toor dal with Turmeric till soft.

In a kadai, heat oil and splutter cumin seeds. Then saute garlic till slightly brown. Then saute onions.

Once the onions turn brown add the tomato puree, cook well. Then add chopped green chillies.

Finally add the cooked tur dal and add enough water and salt.


Bring to boil and cook till you get a good consistency.

Serve with rice or chaptis.

This quite spiked up our dull dinner somehow

Would love to hear your comfort food today! And yes greetings for a great week ahead!
