It works wonders when you defenitely need a break from the chickenz and the muttonz...
So here is the recipe
Ingredients:
- 2cups tuvar dal
- salt to taste
- 2 tsp red chilli powder
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 green chilli
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup tamarind paste
- For tempering or the tadka:
- 2 garlic cloves cut lengthwise
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- one string curry leaves
- 2 dried red chillies
Method:
Wash the dal and place it in a pressure cooker, add 2 cups of water, garlic cloves, salt, red chilli powder and turmeric powder and pressure cook for about 15-20 min's.
After the pressure comes out,smash the dal with a wooden smasher or spoon.
Finally add the tamarind paste.
Throw in the green chilli and cook the dal for about 2 mins and set aside.
In a small pan, heat oil/ghee and add cumin and mustard seeds, as soon as they start spluttering, add the remaining ingredients and splash in onto the dal.
Serve with plain rice, or as a side dish with rotis(the consistancy can be made a little thicker if with rotis)
