Sukhi Dal


I usually make multiple versions of Sukhi Dal depending on the time on hand and my mood too! The watered down versions would just be addition of salt and seasoning with ghee, cumin seeds and mustard seeds. 


But this version of sukhi dal was very much liked at home and so thought I would include it in my North Indian Lunch Thali. Check out the simple recipe.

Toor Dal 1 cup
Onions chopped 1/2 cup

Seasoning(Oil 1 Tbsp, 1 tsp Cumin Seeds 1 tsp, Asafoetida)


Sukhi Dal


Method Of Preparation -


Wash toor dal and pressure cook toor dal until cooked through.


In a heated sauce pan, add oil and cumin seeds. After the cumin seeds get light brown sprinkle the asafoetida and fry the minced garlic.


Add in the chopped onions and saute until golden brown. Add chopped green chillies as well. 


Sprinkle in turmeric, salt, garam masala and mix well.
