Masala Daal


This Spicy daal was something I just experimented out when I was in pune. It turned out great. Actually mom dad loved it and then when I came here even ajoy liked it :) So thought of posting the recipe

Masala Daal
Ingredients
3 Cup Tur Daal
1 Onion
1 Tomato
6-7 Garlic cloves
1/4 Spoon Mustard
1/4 Spoon Jeera
1 Spoon Red Chilli Powder
1/4 Spoon Turmeric Powder
1/2 Spoon Jeera Powder
1/2 Spoon Corriander Powder
1/4 Spoon Garam Masala
Corriander Leaves for Garnishing
Butter cubes
Salt to taste
Ghee

Method
  • Cook tur daal with 1 cup water in the cooker.
  • Heat the oil and let the mustard and jeera splutter in it
  • Add finely chopped onions, garlic pieces and fry till onions turn translucent.
  • Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, jeera powder, corriander powder and garam masala and mix well.
  • Add tomato and cook till tomato is completely done.
  • Add in cooked tur daal, salt and mix well. Cook for couple of minutes with constant stirring
  • Add enough water for getting desired consistency to the daal and bring it to the boil.
  • Garnish with corriander leaves.
  • While serving serve with little butter cubes on top.

Notes
While cooking daal I dont mix too much of water, that way the cooked daal when added to masala completely soaks the taste and aroma.

Onion Bhaji


I prepare these kind of bhaji very few times as I always loved those Crab style bhajis more than these. But when I felt like eating these last weekend, I prepared them and turned out quite well.

Onion Bhaji
Ingredients
2 Onions
1/2 Cup Bason
1/4 Cup Corriander Leaves
1 Spoon Red Chilli Powder
1/4 Spoon Turmeric Powder
1/2 Spoon Corriander Powder
1/4 Spoon Jeera Powder
Salt to taste
Oil

Method
  • Finely chop onions and add the salt to it. Keep aside for 5-10 minutes
  • Add Bason, corriander leaves- finely chopped, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, corriander powder, jeera powder and mix to form the paste. Add water if needed.
  • Heat the oil in a pan, and add a spoonful of it into the paste.
  • Mix the paste well and fry the Bhaji's of small size to crispy brown colour.

Notes
I normally apply salt to onion and keep aside as that helps in seperating water and then the paste doesnt loosen after some time.
Since I add the heated oil I dont use eating soda, heated oil is good enough for giving crispiness
