Mixed dal fry

Preparation time-20mins
Serves-4
Ingredients:
1 cup toor dal
1 cup chana dal
1 big onion
4 garlic pods
6 dry red chillies
1 sp mustard seeds
1 sp urad dal
3 sps tamarind paste
6 curry leaves
2 pinches turmeric
3 pinches salt
pinch or hing
2 sps of butter/ghee
3 sps of sunflower oil
Method:

1. This is a little different way of how we cook toor dal regularly.Try this and let me know how good it is!
2. Wash toor dal and chana dal and put them in pressure cooker along with cut 4 dry red chillies,turmeric,crushed garlic pods.
3. Add 3 cups of water nd cook under pressure for 10mins/3 whistles.
4. I prefer doing this directly in a small dal cooker rather than in a vessel in cooker.
5. Meanwhile,prepare the seasoning with mustard seeds,urad dal,remaining dry red chillies and hing.
6. Now finely chop onion into small pieces and fry them in seasoning pan for 2mins until transparent.
7. Then add tamarind paste to the onions and lower the heat to minimum.Allow tamarind to lose its rawness in that pan for a minute.
   
8. When dal is cooked,blend it smooth adding salt to it with a paddle.This gives a pleasant colour and flavour with garlic,turmeric and chillies as cooked along with dal.
9. Now add the dal paste to the pan and mix evenly with onions.
10. In a different pan,warm ghee/butter and fry curry leaves for few seconds.
11. Add curry leaves with ghee to the mixed dal pan and switch off the heat.
12. This tastes yummy and simple to do as well.Enjoy with roti and also can have with plain steaming rice.
