Tindora Dal is a easy peasy recipe which goes very well with rotis & rice. Couple of months back I have posted Tomato Pappu and this one I added tindora and little variance in it. Last weekend I made this for our lunch to check whether it is good, so I did not click. It was yumm yumm tasty, so again I made it today for our dinner and clicked too for posting :-) Try this easy and tasty dish in a less time. This is an no onion & garlic recipe :-)
INGREDIENTS:
Kovakkai / Tindora - 1 cup
Moongdhal - 1/2 cup
Tomato - 2
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Coriander powder - 2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Salt - to taste
To temper:
Oil - 1 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Asafoetida / Hing - a pinch
Curry leaves - few
HOW TO MAKE:
Cut edges of kovakkai and chop into thin slices as shown in the pic. Cut tomato into pieces. Pressure cook all the ingredients in the "ingredients" column with 1 1/2 cup of water. Allow three whistles.
Release the steam.
Heat oil in a small pan / kadai splutter mustard seeds, add cumin seeds asafoetida and curry leaves. Pour it in the curry and mix well.
Serve with rotis or rice.
TIPS:
Do not allow more than 3 whistles, else the veggies will get mushy. 3 whistles are perfect.
Ghee can be used for seasoning and that gives good taste.
Onion and garlic can be added.
