Ingredients

  • Chana dal – 2 cups

  • Tomato – 3 (two finely chopped, one lengthwise thinly sliced)

  • Onion – 2 (finely chopped)

  • Garlic Ginger – 1 teaspoon

  • Green chilli – 2

  • Butter – 2 tbsp

  • Mustard oil – 2 teaspoons

  • Cumin – 1 tsp

  • Kashmiri red chilli powder – 1 tsp

  • Kasuri Methi – 1 tablespoon

  • Salt – as per taste

Directions

  • Wash the dal well, soak it in water for 30 minutes, and set it aside before making the chana dal tadka. 
  • Next, we’ll take a pressure cooker and add some salt to it along with the chana dal. Now add water, somewhat more than three times the volume of the cup we used to remove the chana dal, and cook for one whistle on high heat.
  • Following one whistle, lower the gas to low, cook for ten minutes on low heat, then switch off the gas and set the pressure cooker aside to cool.
  • As the pressure cooker cools down, get the tempering ready. 
  • Heat a pan over gas in order to create Tarka. Add mustard oil to the pan as soon as it gets hot. Warm up the oil. Add the cumin seeds to the oil as soon as it’s heated. 
  • Add onion and stir until the cumin seeds start to become a light golden colour. 
  • After slightly browning the onion, add the garlic-ginger paste, stir, and cook for one minute before adding the green chilies. 
  • Add the tomatoes now. We’re going to add salt to it in addition to tomatoes.
  • I had also put a little salt to the dal, so you have to be careful when adding salt. 
  • After adding salt to taste, saute everything. 
  • After adding the red chilli powder and Kasuri fenugreek, we will add the spices and sauté it until the spices begin to release oil.
  • Once the oil begins to slightly separate, mix in the boiling chana dal.
  • After thoroughly mixing everything, top with the butter and tomato, simmer for two minutes, and then turn off the heat. 
  • Now create this survey and add the green coriander to it.
  • It’s now time for our delicious chana dal tadka. You may also add finely diced tomato and onion to it to serve.

Notes

  • This chana dal tadka goes well with pulao or roti.
