Ingredients

  • 1 cup Dry Red Chillies stacks removed
  • 3/4 cup Gram Dal / Husked Urad Dal
  • 1/2 cup Bengal Gram / Channa Dal
  • 2 pinches Asafoetida / Hing
  • Curry Leaves handful
  • 1/2 tsp Salt per taste
  • 1 tsp Cooking Oil

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add 1 tsp oil and mix in channa dal. Microwave for 1 min. Remove the dal to a plate. Add in urad dal. Microwave for 30 secs.
  • Once done, remove to the plate, add in the red chilies, salt, hing, and curry leaves. Microwave for 30 secs.
  • Remove to a plate. Allow it to cool or put it under the fan.
  • First, take the lentils, blend, or pulse them a couple of times. Then, finally add the chilies and blend again.
  • How coarse you want depends on your preference. I normally make it a little coarse so that you get to bite on the lentil.
