Recipe


Yellow Dal or Dal Tadka is a commonly known Dal recipe in Indian Cusine. Dal is nothing but dried lentils. This is eaten with either Rice or any Indian Bread. Dals are a very good source of protein in a Vegetarian diet!
Serves:	2
Preparation Time:	15 mins
Cooking Time:	20 mins
Ingredients:	Toor Dal - ½ Cup
	Water - 3 Cups
	Garlic finely chopped - 1 tsp
	Ginger finely chopped - 1 tsp
	Green Chillies slit - 1 or 2
	Red Chilli Powder (Optional) - 1 tsp
	Asafoetida - ¼ tsp
	Turmeric - ¼ tsp
	Oil - 2 tbsp
	Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
	Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
	Few Curry Leaves
	Salt to taste
	Coriander Leaves (Cilantro) chopped for garnishing
Method:	• Soak Toor Dal in Water for 10-15min as this would make the Dal soft and decrease the cooking time. • Pressure cook the Dal and wait for the pressure to be released completely and then open the Cooker. • Heat Oil in a pan, add Mustard Seeds and allow it to splutter. Then add Cumin Seeds, Asafoetida, Turmeric Powder, Green Chillies and Ginger-Garlic. Then add Curry Leaves and stir for few seconds. • To this add the cooked Dal. Add some Salt and mix well. Simmer and cook for few minutes. • Garnish with Coriander Leaves and serve hot with Rice or Naan!
