Tomato Dalitoy Recipe
Ingredients
| Toor dal | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, salt to taste | ||
| Ginger | 1 Teaspoon, grated | |
| 2 green chillies, slit into 2 | ||
| Tomatoes | 2 Large | |
| Coriander/ cilantro | 1 Cup (16 tbs), chopped | |
| Red chillies | 2 | |
| Mustard seeds | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Cumin seeds | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Few curry leaves | ||
| Asafetida | 1 Pinch | |
| Oil | 2 Tablespoon | |
Directions
Pressure cook dal along with salt, turmeric, ginger and slit green chillies until soft. Whisk it to make a smooth paste.
Transfer to a pot. Add diced tomatoes and cook till tomatoes are soft. (You can add the tomatoes in the pressure cooker, but I prefer to use it after the dal is cooked. It helps to retain the yellow colour of dal and the Tomatoes will not become mushy).
Add chopped cilantro and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Switch off the flame.
Heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add cumin seeds, asafetida, curry leaves and cut red chillies. Saute for few seconds. Pour this tempering over the dal. Cover the pan immediately.
Serve along with steamed rice or roti garnished with some more chopped coriander.

How long do I cook the dal if I don't have a pressure cooker?

I have never used toor daal before. Nor do I remember seeing it at my local grocers... is it a special lentil? do tell me. i have had moong daal with lotsa veggies. mom makes it often in the winter and its simply fab. i guess i can add teeny bits of veggies to this too.. it wont mess with the flavor right?

This had to be from you..i just love this dish with chapthis and some onion salad..brings back good old memories...but isn't it advisable to add some garlic ..to combat the gas effect..sorry if that sounded rude..but i think it helps...guess it will alter the taste of the dish..I guess its ok if I add a single clove of crushed garlic to the cooker, or isn't it?
