A new year and its a new post. Thank you one and all for the support in 2014. I want to share many more recipes here, will soon do it.

 

Dal fry is one of the essentials in Indian cooking. It makes a complete meal.  Tur dal, commonly called as split pigeon pea  is the main ingredient in dal. It is also known as arhar dal. It makes a good accompaniment with steamed rice as well as with chapathi. Today, I am sharing a simple dal recipe which is ideal for daily cooking. It is a no onion garlic recipe, ideal for the festive days too. 

How is the dal cooked ? 

Proper cooking of the lentil is utmost important. Uncooked lentil does not taste good and may cause indigestion. To cook the dal, take a cup  of split pigeon pea, rinse it in water and soak it in four cups of water for half an hour. Put it in the pressure cooker with a quarter teaspoon of turmeric powder  Cook it for three whistles. Allow the pressure to release by itself.  Take the dal  and mash it well with a ladle or a wired mesh The cooked dal is now ready for further use. You may add a little oil also while cooking.

Can we keep the cooked dal in the refrigerator?

Yes, you can keep it in the refrigerator for  four days. Take the required quantity needed for cooking and put the remaining back.

Hi Jayashree,
Good morning dear.
This is one of the most religiously cooked dal in our house and preparation is very same like you shared, it’s just we serve with rice that’s why Dal is different in appearance as free flowing. And we add kokum or kokum flower or tamarind pulp and which makes this very very tasry.. its like first boling with sufficient water, then blending, add water as per need, add kokum, coriander, curey leaves, boil again and temper with cumin and mustard seeds..
