Simple n Yummy!

Hi all, I was in a cooking mood today. My parents were not at home and I had all the time to experiment. I thought it would be a surprise for them as well, particularly my mother (who thinks I can never cook!) Just tried out her recipe of making dal. It's the easiest and healthiest food I can think of. You just need some yellow dal, coriander/curry leaves, tomatoes, chilli(optional). Pressure cook the dal with some turmeric powder. While that's cooking, cut the tomatoes into small pieces and heat two spoons of oil in a kadai Temper it with few mustard seeds and some asafoetida. Add in green Chillies and chopped tomato too. Now, add in the cooked dal. Add salt as per taste. Mix it thoroughly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes and turn off the heat. You can serve the hot, steaming dal with rice and lil ghee. Total cooking time : 30 minutes Vanishes within 10 minutes!...trust me~~ Jai Gurudev! Love, Shruthi
