Mix vegetables in dal




Hello everyone! My today’s recipe is inspired by Aarthi’s blogpost and I thought I would give it a try. I have made few variations from what she made.I had made this about 2months back when I saw at her blog but just kept it pending to post.

Recipe source: Aarthi ..@ Yummy Tummy


We all make  dal in different ways and at times plain dal becomes boring so lets do mummy ka magic here.

Ingredients:

1cup tur dal  , washed and soaked for  30mins

1tsp haldi (turmeric powder,

1tsp jeera (cumin seeds)

1tsp rai  (mustard seeds)

1tsp urad dal 

Pinch of hing (asaephotida)

1tsp red chilli powder

1tsp garam masala powder

1tsp coriander powder

1tsp amchur powder

Salt to taste.

Few curry leaves,

3 green chillies, cut in small pieces
2 dry red chillies  broken in pieces
1onion sliced
2cloves of garlic crushed
2tbsp oil
1 cup of mix vegetables of your choice.

Here I have used tomatoes, carrots, brinjal, okra, gwar, yam (sooran) and cauliflower cut and mix them all  in one cup.


Method:

In pressure cooker boil  dal in usual way. In a pan put oil, sauté onions, then put jeera, rai and green chillies, stir them and then add  urad dal, curry leaves, dry red chillies,garlic and hing. Stir for a min then add all the vegetables. Stir and and put some water so they cook nicely.

Add salt and all spices and keep it aside after they have been cooked. Take dal out of  pressure cooker and mash it a bit. Add water and add salt and turmeric powder. Be careful with salt here as we had added it in the vegetables.  Mix the cooked vegetables in dal and stir it. Let it come to one or two boils.

Voila your dal with vegetables is ready.
Serve it hot and garnish with coriander leaves and a dash of butter. You can leave out butter but I just simple love the look of butter on top.

  6. With so many veggies in it this surely looks like a healthy dal.
    Meena: I loved reading your last post on FB's pros and cons. Agree with you that we should be very careful abt proving confidential info.
    REgarding your query on how I solved my Malware problem, I had to remove every widget's HTML code from my blog one by one and then see the result. Finally I found the corrupted site source in my blog- Translator widget. Just removed it from my blog and it was back to normal.

    1. thank you deepa. ya i figured out it was due to extra gadgets which causes malware prb. and about pros and cons one always needs to be careful. this dal is very healthy plus giving kids the veggies they dont eat its best way to disguise them
