Recipe for Masoor Dal Tadka curry:

Method

  • Wash Masoor Dal well till water runs clear.
  • In a pressure cooker, add washed Dal and 2 cups of water.
  • Add chopped onions, diced tomatoes, chopped green chilli, ginger, salt, turmeric, and Hing powder.
  • Pressure cook on medium low flame for 4 minutes (2 whistles).
  • If not using a pressure cooker, then cook dal in a covered pot till dal is soft when pressed. However, you should take care that individual lentil pieces should retain their shape.
  • Allow the pressure cooker to release the steam naturally. Check the consistency of Dal. If you want it thinner, then add some water and bring it to a boil.
  • Add crushed kasoori methi while vigorously stirring to blend the boiled pieces of onions and tomatoes. 

For tempering (tadka):

  • Heat ghee in a tempering ladle. When hot add cumin seeds. When cumin seeds start spluttering, add a dry red chili, red chili powder and coriander powder. Cook masalas by constantly stirring the Ghee on low flame. Pour the hot spiced ghee over the cooked dal.
  • Serve while hot.
