Split Yellow moong daal - 1/2 cup

Turmeric a pinch
Salt to taste
Wash and pressure cook with turmeric.
Once the pressure falls, remove add salt and churn well to get a soft and well cooked dal.
Spice garnish
Red chilli powder
Coriander powder
Aamchoor powder
Garam masala
Other garnishes
Finely chopped onion
Green chutney
Sweet imli chutney
Tempering
Ghee/ Oil - 2 tsp
Shahi jeere / cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Assembling the dal
In a serving bowl put a layer of moong.
Another layer of cooked yellow daal.
Add one spoonful of green chutney, Sweet Imli Chutney over the dals, add the finely chopped onions.
Over this, sprinkle spices generously since the dal doesn't have any spice at all.
Heat ghee add shahi jeera/ jeera. Once they crackle, pour on spices.
Serve with Satpura.
The satpura
The satpura is a layered paratha. Sat means ‘seven’ and pur means ‘layers’. It is made from regular chapatti dough.
Ingredients Needed:
Wheat flour 1 cup
Salt to taste
Ghee - 1 tsp
Red chili powder - 1 tsp
Knead a soft dough with just enough water. Make a big ball and roll it out to a thick disc.
Smear with ghee, sprinkle salt, red chili powder and flour. Spread it on the disc. Cut strips.
Place the strips one on top of the other, roll and bring them together to form a ball. Dust and roll it out again
Heat a tawa and cook the roti on both sides with oil.
Serve with dal.
Notes:
The original recipe calls for Cardamon powder to be added to the yellow dal, I skipped. Also Vaishali asks for the yellow dal to be soaked, I normally never soak as pressure cooking does the job.
Though you end up mixing the entire setup in the dal, I wished it stayed the different layers before clicking. so maybe I should have a thicker dal. It again depends how thick you want your dal to be.
For the dal, I forgot to add Coriander powder and Amchoor. Next time I will surely add them.
This combination turned out to be deadly! The rotis were spicy and the mild dal was a perfect combination. I was really so happy I tried this.

vaishali sabnani says
Perfectly made:)) yes the Dalal's havetobeslightly thicker, and I soak the Dalal's because even after washing they lend a peculiar smell..but if soaked thesmellis not there.It is all about your style.do try with aamchoor pwd..which gives a super taste.
