Simple Masoor Dal

Masoor dal is my favourite dal. It is very simple to make with just a basic seasoning but tastes yummy. It is cooked almost instantly with very less ingredients used.

Ingredients:-

• 1 cup masoor dal
• 2 onions (sliced)
• 1 tsp red chilli pdr
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 8-10 curry leaveS
• 2 tbsp ghee
• salt to taste

Method:-

• Boil dal with 3 cups water, salt and red chilli pdr.
• When done, whisk it well and keep aside.
• Heat ghee in a pan.
• Add onions, cumin seeds and curry leaves.
• Fry well till onions change colour.
• Add this tadka to the cooked dal.
• Serve hot with rice or roti.

Notes:-

• You may use tuar dal instead of masoor dal in this recipe. But be sure to add ¼ tsp turmeric pdr, 1 finely chopped tomato and a pinch of asafoetida to it.
• You may add ½tsp garam masala to the dal if you like but remember to add it after the dal is done, just before tempering.
• You can adjust the amount of water as per the required consistency.

Happy Cooking!!
