1. Ghar ki Daal [Daal Fry]


Ingredients
5 Curry Leaves
1 Tea Spoon Cummin Seed
2 Table Spoon Edible Oil
1 Table Spoon Ghee
1 Medium sized Onion
3 Green Chillies
1 Big Tomato
5 Petals Garlic
5 thin slices of Ginger
5-7 Green Coriander leaves for dressing
½ Cup Lentil Seed [Daal]
½ Tea spoon Salt
½ Tea spoon Turmeric Powder


Recipe
1. Cut Onion in thin vertical slices
2. Cut chilies in 3 pieces each, cut coriander leaves and keep ready for dressing
3. Personally, I prefer to grind the tomato along with Ginger and Garlic in the mixer, but you can also cut Tomato in small pieces and then grind only Ginger and Garlic in the mixer.
4. Boil the Lentil Seed with double the water till it becomes soft.
5. Start by pouring oil in the cooking pan. Remember to keep the flame low, in case you are a newbie to cooking.
6. When the oil is hot, put the curry leaves and cumin seeds in it. Stir for a moment and then put chilly pieces in the hot oil.
7. Out the chopped Onion now and then keep on stirring till the onion gets fried to become brownish in color.
8. Put in the Tomato + Ginger + Garlic paste in the pan now. Stir for a while and put in the turmeric powder and Salt.
9. Beat the cooked Lentil seed for a while and then pour it in the pan. Add 1 cup of water to the pan and allow the mix to boil.
10. When the mix starts boiling, pour the ghee.
11. Allow the mix to boil for 2-3 minutes and then switch off the gas.
12. Your Daal Fry is ready. Season it with the cut Coriander leaves and serve hot!!
