For the final day under Delicious Dals, I have yet another version of simple dal made with a mix of Urad dal, Moong dal, and Masoor Dal. I gave a simple tempering of garlic and chili and you will wonder how just those two can give so much taste to the dal on its own. I served with a simple flavoring to the rice with shah jeera and a crispy aloo roast.
Though I made this for lunch and served it with rice, I realized rotis would have made a great combo for this dal as well. The rice cooked with shah jeera was really so good.
Kali Dal ki Tadka
Black Urad Dal - 1/2 cup
Yellow Spilt Dal - 1/2 cup
Masoor Dal - 1/4 cup
Red chili powder - 1/2 tsp
Hing a pinch
Garlic - 2 cloves
Green Chilies - 2 medium
Oil - 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Butter - 1 tsp
How to make the Dal
Wash and pressure cook all the dals together along with hing and chili powder for 4 whistles.
Once the pressure subsides, churn a bit and keep it aside.
In a nonstick pan, heat the oil and add grated garlic and chopped green chilies. After a couple of minutes, add the cooked dal and add just enough water to get a thick dal. Finally, add the butter and simmer again for 5 mins.
This dal takes about 20 - 25 mins of cooking when you use a pressure cooker.
