Amti with Drumstick

BM #63 Day 1 -

Welcome to this special edition of Blogging Marathon. Every year, April and September are special months for us, BMers. These two months are designated for month long mega marathons. 

Today being the first of April, we are all excited to see what each of us has chosen to do from the options - 
1) Recipes from any region in India or from any country for 26 days in alphabetical order 
or
2) Recipes from 4 regions/countries each for a week in alphabetical order.

I have chosen to showcase some authentic Maharashtrian recipes. I have had a great help in my friend, Shalaka. She has diligently worked with me by graciously sharing some of her heir loom recipes. For some of the difficult letters of the alphabet she has been very innovative and has pointed me to some interesting websites.

I have tried to stick to healthy recipes for most of the time, but I confess, I had to get off the wagon for a few tricky ones. I have attempted to explore the Maharashtrian cuisine and trust me there are a few tucked into my magical draft folder :).

Check out today's post which is a humble and a comfort food.

Recipe Source Shalaka
Ingredients - 

Toor Dal 3/4 cup
Drumstick chopped into 2 inch pieces (I used the frozen ones) handful
Turmeric 1/2 tsp
Goda Masala 3/4 tsp (store bought or home made)
Salt and Chili Powder as needed
Jaggery, powdered 1 tsp (Optional)
Kokum 3-4 (I used the wet version)
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp, Cumin Seeds 1/2 tsp, Asafotida 1 pinch, Curry leaves few)
Coriander leaves for garnish
Fresh grated coconut for garnish (I forgot to garnish)


Amti with Drumstick

Method Of Preparation -


Wash toor dal and pressure cook it with drumstick and turmeric along with adequate water. 

After the pressure is released from the pressure cooker, remove the cooked dal and mash it, taking care not to mash the drumstick.

In a sauce pan, heat oil and add the mustard and cumin seeds. After they crackle, add asafotida and curry leaves.

Transfer the cooked dal mixture into the seasoning.

Sprinkle salt, chili powder, kokum, jaggery, Goda Masala and let the Amti simmer for a few minutes on low heat.

Remove from heat and serve with rice.
