    Ek thali Dal, -Day 2, Blogging Marathon,#12

    Jan 24, 2012 · Modified: Dec 20, 2020 by Priya_Srinivasan ·

    A healthy combination of Dals with Rich taste of Cashew and Coconut. Addition of Spinach and Carrot makes this dal even more nutritious and complete in all taste.This Dal Can be served hot with Steamed Rice and also as an Accompaniment to Roti’s too.


    Ingredients
    1 and ½ tablespoon Split red lentils/Masoor Dal
    1 and ½ tablespoon Bengal Gram/Gram Dal
    1 and ½ tablespoon Split green gram dal/dhuli Moong dal
    2 tablespoon Chickpeas/Kabuli Chana, Soaked Overnight
    ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
    ½ teaspoon red chilli poder
    1 medium tomato, chopped
    Salt to taste
    1 and ½ tablespoon oil
    1 Cup Chopped Palak leaves
    1 Medium-sized Carrot, Shredded
    2 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
    2 teaspoon grated jaggery
    1 and ½ tablespoon lemon juice

    Masala
    1 and ½ teaspoon poppy seeds (khus khus), i didnt use it,since i dont get it here in UAE.
    8-10 Cashew nuts, chopped
    2 dried red chillies, broken into large pieces
    1 teaspoon coriander seeds
    2 cloves
    1 and /2 tablespoon grated fresh coconut

    Method
    • Soak all the three dals together for half an hour. 
    • For the masala, soak the poppy seeds and cashew nuts in one cup of water for 30minutes.  Drain and grind to a fine paste with red chillies, coriander seeds, cloves and coconut.
    • Pressure-Cook the dals and Kabuli Chana with three and half cups of water, turmeric powder, chilli powder, tomato and salt until soft.
    • Heat oil in a kadai, add spinach and carrot and saute for about five minutes.
    • Add the cooked dals and kabuli chana, the ginger-garlic paste, jagger and ground masala, stir well and cook for one minute.  Add half a cup of water and bring to boil.
    • lower the heat and simmer for ten minutes.  Stir in the lemon juice and serve hot.

    Note:
    The Dal had a strong smell of cloves, may be next time i might use 1 instead of 2.
    The original recipe has used Cabbage, i have replaced it with carrots.
