Carrot

– ½ cup toor dal – 1.5 cups water – ¼ tsp turmeric – 1 tsp salt ...

Ingredients

1

– Rinse the dal and add it to a vessel that fits in the pressure cooker. Add the water and ground turmeric and mix well. Now place this in the pressure cooker. 

2

– Pressure cook the dal and let the pressure subside naturally. When the pressure is released, open the pressure cooker lid and carefully take out the dal and add the salt. Mix and mash the dal nicely.

3

– Now in a separate tempering pan, add the ghee and let it melt. When it is hot, add the cumin seeds, let it sizzle a bit, reduce the heat to low, and add the red chili powder, crushed kasoori methi, and asafoetida. Do not let the spices burn here. Saute it for 20 to 30 seconds over low heat and immediately add it to the mashed dal.

4

– Mix it well, and that’s it, the dal is ready. Serve it with rice or roti.
