Simple Dal with a twist

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4 people

You will need:

1. Toor Dal: 1 cup
2. Chana Dal: 1/4 cup
3. Mustard seeds: 1/2 tsp
4. Cumin seeds: 1/2 tsp
5. Garlic pods: 1 no.
6. Turmeric powder: 1/2 tsp
7. Red chillies: 3-4 nos.
8. Coriander
9. Water: 1 cup
10. Oil: 1 tsp
11. Asafoetida/Hing: 1 pinch
12. Salt: according to taste

To cook: 

• Boil the toor and chana dal in a pressure cooker. The chana dal adds thickness to an otherwise liquidy dal. 
• Once the dal is cooked, add water, salt and coriander and bring to boil.
• Temper this with oil, hing, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, red chillies and garlic. 
• Makes a great combination with rotis!
