My favourite dish in North Indian cuisine! Whenever I get a chance to go to a North Indian restaurant,my order
will be Dal fry with steamed rice and kadai paneer…. My ever green combo! Today I just felt like making this at home
and here’s the recipe…Thanks to Sangeeta for the recipe!
Ingredients:
| Toor dal (thuvaram paruppu) | 1/2 cup |
| Tomato | 1 no. |
| Ginger | 1/2 inch piece |
| Turmeric | 1/4 tsp |
| Asafoetida | A pinch |
| Green chillies | 2 nos. |
| Kasuri methi | A generous pinch |
| Salt | As needed |
| Ghee | 1 tblsp |
| Jeera | 2 tsp |
| Red chilli powder | 3/4 tsp |
METHOD:
- Pressure cook dal(add just enough water) with a drop of ghee,ginger,asafoetida and turmeric for 5-6 whistles.( I soak the dal,cook in low flame after first whistle).
- After done,just mash it little without making too gooey.
- Heat a kadai with ghee and temper with half of the jeera (I added ginger at this stage)and add the chopped tomato,salt,fry till soft and add little water and let it boil for 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked dal and boil for two more minutes and add kasuri methi leaves(soak in hot water before adding)at this stage.
- At last add heat a tsp of ghee and add the remaining jeera and switch off the flame and then add the red chilli powder. Immediately add it to the dal on the top.(you can add little water immediately to prevent it burning).
- Enjoy with steamed basmati rice preferably with any kind of subzi as accompaniment. Dont forget to squeeze lemon as it gives a nice zing to dal!

Hi, delurking, tried your mix veg kurma, and it turned out so good. I tried cauliflower and peas gravy yesterday, and it was a hit too. I am not a pro and whenever I try something from a foodblog most of the time it is a miss but not yours. Your pics r awesome, which make is ur camera. Ur pics r so drool worthy and makes me want to eat all the time which is not good for me..hehe. Keep up the good work.
This looks super delicious Raks, I love Dal fry too! Me and my hubby tried but no pop ups came. I have asked others..lets see.
Thanks a lot for letting me know.
Lovely pic and Im sure the food was even better.
Hey, I fixed it. It was one of the widgets I had installed. Thanks for letting me know.
AM, thanks for the comments!! I use Nikon D40X
What beautiful pictures! I make the same dal but without the kasuri methi. That seems like an interesting touch.
Made this on Saturday - should have made a double, or even triple batch, because it was SO good and I was SO SAD when we'd eaten it all!
