Masala Masoor
Lunch or dinner is never complete without dal. Ditch the regular toor or moong dal and opt for masoor dal for a change. Not only will it make for a different taste but will provide the same protein, vitamins, minerals and fibre that the other dals do.
Providing a recipe for gar-licky masoor dal!
- 1 cup masoor dal.
- 1/2 tsp cow ghee/Oil
- 1 heaped tsp finely chopped garlic (less or more as per your preference)
- 1 whole red chilli, broken into half.
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds.
- A few curry leaves.
- A few coriander leaves chopped fine.
- Salt, turmeric and chilli powder to your taste.
Method
-
Soak the masoor dal in clean water for about an hour.
-
Drain out the water and cook the dal in a heavy bottomed pan with salt and turmeric. Soaking facilitates the dal to cook better and faster without the need for pressure cooking.
-
When the dal is done, season it with red chillies, cumin seeds, garlic, curry leaves and coriander leaves.
-
Serve hot with brown rice or whole wheat chapati.
