Masoor Ki Lal Dal Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup Masoor dal (red lentils)
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
2 tomatoes (chopped)
1-2 green chilies (optional, finely chopped)
1 tsp cumin seeds (zeera)
1 tsp mustard seeds (optional)
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp garam masala
4-5 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1-inch ginger (grated)
2 tbsp oil or ghee
Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
Salt (to taste)
3 cups water
Instructions:
1. Rinse the masoor dal thoroughly and soak for 15-20 minutes.
2. Boil the dal: In a pot, add the soaked dal with 3 cups of water, turmeric powder, and salt. Let it cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until the dal softens. You can also pressure cook for 2-3 whistles.
3. Prepare the tadka (tempering): In a pan, heat oil or ghee. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them crackle.
4. Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions are golden brown.
5. Add green chilies and tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes soften and release oil.
6. Add red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Mix well and cook the masala for 2-3 minutes.
7. Combine the masala with the dal: Pour the cooked masala into the boiled dal and stir well. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.
8. Adjust salt and consistency as needed. If the dal is too thick, add some water.
9. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice (optional).
