Инструкции
- Step 1.(Cooking) Wash Toor Dal until water is clear. Drain and add 6 cups of water in a 3 quart or larger saucepan. Let the Dal soak for 30 minutes in this water before cooking. On high heat, bring (do not cover the pan) the contents to boil. Stir and lower heat at boilingpoint as foam will rise. Boil for 30 to 40 minutes until Dal is soft and melting, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat and use a hand blender or whisk to break up lentils. Add two more cups of water and put the pan back on low heat.
- Step 2.(Seasoning). In a small wok or pan, heat 2 tbl oil with 1 tsp each black mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds,and one whole chilli, pinch of asafoetida. Add chopped green chillies (if used) after the seeds start sputtering. Fry green chillies for 30 seconds longer and add all the contents carefully to simmering dal. This process is called "vaghar". (Caution: hot oil when added to simmering dal will sizzle and splatter)
- Step 3. (Spices). While Dal continues to boil, add the following:1.5 to 2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp each of paprika, turmeric, 1 tsp of Dhana Jiru powder, 2 to 3 pieces amboliya, 1tsp fresh chopped ginger, pinch of red chilli powder. Stir frequently and continue boiling for 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup gur (jaggery) and boil 10 more minutes.Dal should be smooth and should have consistency of tomatoe soup.Add water if needed; adjust salt and other spices to taste. Discard amboliya pieces from Dal.Wash and Chop Cilantro for garnish after turning off the heat.
