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!

Testimonial:

"Dear Spices of India, I ordered spearmint tea from your website as it's almost impossible to buy in shops. It arrived in great condition and much sooner than I'd expected. Very impressed with your website, products and service. I'm looking forward to ordering some of your ingredients and recipe books. I would highly recommend your website and have already passed your details on to family members. My partner and brother are both big lovers of Indian food so I'll be checking out your website when it comes to looking for birthday gifts for both of them."
