Dal curry for Chapati

Ingredients

Dal – 1.5 cups

Onion – 2, sliced

Ginger – ½ inch piece, sliced

Garlic – 2 cloves, sliced

Green chillies – 2, slitted

Curry leaves – a few

Turmeric powder – ½ teaspoon

Chilli powder – a pinch (optional)

Cumin seeds – 1 teaspoon

Ghee – 1 teaspoon

Oil – 1 teaspoon

Salt – to taste

Method

Pressure cook dal with required amount of water, 1 sliced onion, ginger, garlic, turmeric powder and salt up to 3 whistles and in low flame for 2-3 minutes. Heat oil and ghee in a pan and fry cumin seeds, curry leaves and sliced onion. Add a pinch of chilli powder (I haven’t added chilli powder). Saute until onions are brown in colour. Open the pressure cooker lid and pour some more water if the dal is too thick. Boil dal for a couple of minutes. Add the fried mix to the cooked dal and mix well. This is a very tasty dish for chapati. Enjoy!
