It’s the home made version of dal makhani. Kaali dal or urad, as I like to call it. There are two ways to make it. One is by adding the basic tomato, onion masala and other is the tadka version which I will be writing about.
Ingredients:
Black urad dal
Water
Salt
Coriander powder
Red chilli powder
Cumin
Dried red chilli
Mustard oil
Ghee
Ginger
Recipe:
Take urad dal and wash and soak for 30 minutes.
Put this in a pressure cooker in a ratio of dal and water as 1:5. Add mustard oil, salt and cook for around half-1 hour depending on when it’s cooked as per the dal type.
Now, if you want to make the masala version, you can proceed to make the onion tomato masala. Since I’m doing the tadka version instead, it’s simpler – grate ginger and put it in the cooked dal.
Take a ladle for tadka and add ghee, coriander powder, red chilli (whole or powder) and cumin seeds. And add it to the dal.
Season with coriander and serve hot.
Enjoy your food 🙂
