Recently I gave a new twist by adding some veggies and fruit. Also went in is a tadka of pure ghee, cumin and a handful of jaggery taking the simple "varan" to a whole new level.
Here's how I make it :-
1. Pressure cook 1/4 C toor dal or red lentils with :-
- pinch of hing
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 chopped apple\mango (optional)
- 2-3 tbsp chopped vegetables ( I use a mix of carrots,peas,green beans and corn
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1-2 small pieces of green chillies
- 2 tbsp chopped tomatoes
- handful of cilantro
- 1 tbsp chopped jaggery
- salt to taste
There you have it. We have this dal with some pickle and rice for a comforting end to a meal.
Sending this dal to Delicious Dals event started by Suma of Veggie Platter. I cannot wait to see the round up here.
