Dhal Tadka

DAL - TOOR DAL CURRY

This is my mom's version of making dhal. Will soon post my MIL's version:)

You Need:

Toor dhal - 1/4 kg

Red Chilli - 3 nos

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Mustard seeds - 1 tsp

Cilantro - For Garnish

Turmeric powder - A pinch

Salt - To taste

Asafoetida - Pinch

Wash the toor dhal twice in cold water. Add 3 cups of water and pinch of turmeric powder and pressure cook it for 10-15 min.

Take a non stick pan, heat oil. Once heated, add mustard seeds, once popped up, add cumin seeds, red chilli, asafoetida and saute for a min.

Add the temperings to the dhal and garnish with coriander seeds.

A simple dhal curry is now ready. Very quick and easy curry when you have nothing in your kitchen or when you are back from your vacation. Serve this dhal tadka with omelette to your loved ones.
