    Everyday Indian Menu: Masoor Dal

    Everyday Indian Menu: Masoor Dal

    Ingredients:

    2 cups masoor dal
    1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
    1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
    1 tsp salt
    1/3 cup oil
    1 1/2 onions, chopped
    1 head garlic, separated, chopped
    1 (1-inch piece) ginger root, chopped
    2 jalapeno chiles, chopped
    2 tomatoes, chopped
    1 bunch coriander, chopped
    Water

    Preparation:
    • Rinse massor dhal thoroughly, until water is clear. In pot bring 1 quart water to boil. Add massor daal.
    • Cook half way, about 10 to 15 minutes, add 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and salt. As massor dhal cooks, uncovered, water will evaporate and mixture will thicken.
    • Add more water to keep dal loose, like texture of thick cream. When dal is soft, turn off heat. Heat oil in wok. When oil is very hot, add onions and cook until tender and translucent but not browned.
    • Add garlic, ginger and chiles. Continue to fry until onions are deep-yellow. Add remaining 1 teaspoon each garam masala and turmeric.
    • Do not allow spices to burn. Keep stirring until mixture starts to stick. Add tomatoes and cilantro. Cook until tomato softens.
    • Pour in pot of masoor dal and simmer to blend flavors. Taste and add more salt if needed.

    Puran Poli (holi Special Sweet )

    Puran Poli recipe

    Puran Poli is a popular Marathi dish. Here is Puran Poli recipe.

    Ingredients:
    • 2 cups chana dal, soaked in water for 4 hours
    • 2 cups jaggery (adjust for sweetness)
    • 2 cups refined flour
    • 3 tbsp oil
    • 1 tsp cardamom powder
    • 1/4th tsp nutmeg powder
    • 3/4 tsp turmeric powder
    Method:
    • Cook chana dal in a pressure cooker till it turns soft. Drain out excess water until the dal is absolutely becomes dry.
    • Add jaggery and cook further and then mash into a soft paste.
    • Add cardamom powder, saffron, and freshly grated nutmeg powder and mix well. Form 20 balls of equal size and put it aside.
    • Mix refined flour, oil, water and turmeric powder. Make very soft, sticky dough. Knead very well. Use oil to knead. Divide into 20 equal portions.
    • With greased palms, take one portion of dough and flatten it into a disc of the size of the palm. Place a ball of "chana jaggery" paste in the centre and fold the disc from all sides to cover the paste completely.
    • On a well-floured board, better over a sheet of clean transparent plastic wrap, gently roll out each poli to a 6 inches disc. This can get tricky as the paste does try to slide out. Use a little flour if that happens. Roll.
    • Roast each poli on a hot, dry girdle. Do not use oil or ghee. Roast both sides well. Smear with ghee on both sides when done. Serve warm with clarified butter or a bowl of milk.

    Curry Recipe - Bataka Powa - Potato & Flattened Rice

    Curry Recipe - Bataka Powa - Potato & Flattened Rice

    2 cups poha (thick flattened rice)
    1 big potato, boiled, peeled & mashed roughly
    1/2 tsp mustard seeds
    few curry leaves
    1 green chilli, finely chopped
    1 small to medium sized onion, chopped
    1/4 tsp turmeric powder
    1/4 tsp salt or as per your taste
    1 tbsp sugar
    a lemon
    1 heaped tbsp of grated coconut, for garnish
    chopped corainder leaves, for garnish
    1 tbsp oil

    Take poha in a bowl & wash it well using your fingers. Drain & set aside. Do not soak the poha.

    Heat oil in a vessel. Put in the mustard seeds & let it splutter. Next add the curry leaves & let it sizzle in the hot oil. Add the chopped green chillies & fry till it turns crisp. Next add the onions & fry till they turn just transparent. Do not brown it. Add turmeric powder & saute for a few seconds. Add the washed poha & mix well. Add salt, sugar & mix well. Add the roughly mashed potatoes & mix well. Pour over the lemon juice & mix well. Garnish with grated coconut & chopped corainder leaves. Cover the vessel. Set aside.

    Now take a big pan & keep it on high flame. Once the pan heats up, turn flame to low & keep the vessel in which the poha is cooked on the hot pan & leave it aside for 10 minutes or so. This process is also called as Dum, which is generally done for biryanis. This will help the flavours of the spices to absorb into the poha.

    Once done, serve hot.
