Salt to taste
Water as per requirement
Procedure:
Firstly pressure cook toordal along with some turmeric and water,wait for 2 whistles and switch off the flame.
Don't over cook dal,it should still retain its shape( not mushy),keep it aside.
Now take deep pan and add oil and once oil is heated add sliced garlic and fry them until dark brown and add whole red chillies and fry them until dark brown too.
Now add mustard seeds,once they splutter add cumin seeds and asafoetida and later add all the curry
leaves and few coriander leaves.
Later add onions and add little salt to brown them quickly and add left over turmeric and ginger
garlic paste and cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
Now add chilli powder and left over salt and don't let it burn,after 2 - 3 seconds add chopped tomatoes and put the lid and cook until it's all mushy.
Once tomatoes are all mushy add pressure cooked dal and add water until you achieve desired consistency.
Later add coriander powder(dhaniya masala) and let it cook with a lid for 5 more minutes.
Finally switch off the flame and garnish with left over coriander leaves.
As with any dal it tastes delicious with ghee,but if you want to avoid ghee it also tastes better by itself
and or in combination with pachi pulusu.
