Tarka Dal

I love good combinations of 2 dals, masoor dal and yellow spilt moong dal. It's very simple to cook and taste good with ghee or butter. For diet conscious, I add only olive oil. You can omit moong dal and use 175 grams of masoor dal.

Here is the recipe:

75 g yellow spilt peas(moong dal)

75 g red lentil dal (masoor dal)

1/2 tsp turmeric

2 garlic cloves crushed

2 green chillies

Salt to taste

Seasonings:

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp cumin seeds

2 dried red chillies

1 garlic cloves crushed

Wash the dals and pressure cook the dals till soft with 2 crushed garlic and 2 green chillies with turmeric, salt and one tsp of oil.

Do the seasonings in a small frying pan and add it to the cooked dal. Close the lid to trap the aromas.

Simmer for 2 minutes and serve with plain basmatic rice or any rotis.
