Yellow dal is a staple dish in Indian homes . It is simple and comforting dish which goes well with rice and roti too. I used moong dal in this recipe, you can replace it with toor dal too.
Check out my Masoor dal tadka and dabba style dal tadka.
Preparation time: 5 mins | Cooking time: 20 minutes | Serves 3-4
INGREDIENTS
| YELLOW MOONG DAL(PASIPARUPPU) | 1 CUP |
| OIL | 1 TSP |
| MILK | 3TBSLP |
| SAMBAR POWDER | 1 1/4 TSP(CAN REPLACE WITH REDCHILLI POWDER AND CORIANDER POWDER) |
| JEERAGAM(CUMIN SEEDS) | 1TSP |
| ONION | 1 NO(CHOPPED) |
| TOMATO | 1 NO(CUT INTO THIN STRIPES) |
| TURMERIC POWDER | A PINCH |
| KASTURI METHI | A PINCH |
In a Pressure Cooker put oil and add jeeragam. When i splutters, add the onions and tomatoes one by one.Just saute for 2 mins.
Then add the sambar powder and add 2 cups of water. Add the turmeric powder. Let this boil for 3-5 mins. Then add the moong dal and add salt. Close the cooker with lid and cook till 6-7 whistles.
When it is done add the milk and boil for 2 mins. Finally add kasturi methi and garnish with coriander leaves.
Adding milk gives a creamy texture and kasturi methi gives an exotic flavor.
Serve hot with roti/rice.
