Dal is an indespensable part of the Indian thali, a staple food of every Indian household. Welcome back to my series The Desi Thali 1.0 and we can’t be missing out on Dal 🧡 We all have our versions, mostly cooked in a similar way with a little bit here and there but here’s my quick lazy version which just needs a handful of spices, sizzling in desi ghee to make a powerful soulful bowl 🥰
.
What’s Cooking? Episode 4: Dal Fry, this is what I call my Lazy Dal fry, made with yellow and orange dal (known as moong dhuli and malka masoor dal ) I highly recommend sticking to that desi ghee tadka, don’t skip heeng and not too watery (atleast that’s how I like it) 🙃 ! Ingredients and Instructions ⬇️
.
Ingredients 
3/4 cup Orange Masoor Dal
1/4 cup Yellow Moong Dal
1 bay leaf 
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp each salt & turmeric 
Drizzle of Ghee
3 cups water 
.
Tadka
2 tbsp ghee
1 tsp cumin seeds, a fat pinch of heeng 
2 green chillies (chopped for extra heat else sliced)
1 tsp finely chopped ginger 
1 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp red chilli powder, salt to taste
1/4 tsp each black pepper & turmeric 
.
Recipe
Rinse Dal until water is clear, let it soak for atleast 10-15 mins. Combine drained Dal, bay leaf, garlic clove, salt + turmeric, water and pressure cook for 2 whistles with quick release pressure.
.
In a pan, warm up ghee - add cumin seeds, let sizzle followed by dried red chilli + heeng. Add chopped ginger & green chilies, let sauté for a few seconds, on low medium heat add all the spices (add a dash of water to make sure spices don’t get burnt)  combine well and pour in pressure cooked Dal. 
.
Bring to a boil - finish with chopped cilantro. Pair with roti or rice
