Dal Fry


This is a simple dal that my mother makes and I used to love eating it with chappathis and Tossed Salad.

Ingredients
1 cup Moong Dal
3 green chilies
1 onion
1 large tomato
2 tablespoon coriander powder
1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoon oil
Salt to Taste

Preparation
Wash the Moong Dal and cook it in a pressure cooker with 2 cups of water and coriander powder. Peel and finely chop the onion.
Wash and slit the green chilies into half.
Wash and finely chop the coriander leaves.
Wash and finely cut the tomato.

Putting Together
Heat the oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds and let it pop and turn slightly brown.
Add the chopped onion and green chillies and fry till the onions become golden brown.
Add the ginger garlic paste and sauté for a minute.
Add the cut tomato and fry till they get well cooked and mashed.
Add the cooked dal and salt and let it boil for 10-15 minutes on a low flame.
Turn off the flame and add the lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves.
Serve with Rotis or Rice.
