An innovative twist to the good old Hyderabadi Khatti Daal by me. This is Khatti Daal with Amchur. Made in typical Hyderabadi style with the addition of homemade Dry Mango or Amchur.
It's tangy and super delicious. Tastes best alongside simple boiled Rice and any Sabzi. You can relish it with your favourite Non-Vegetable delicacies too.
For me, it's absolutely amazing and delectable with Tala huwa Gosht or Fried Mutton and some Fried Chicken as well. Also tastes good with Chicken 65.

Or even all the more good on it's own too. Just have some Fried Poppadoms or Papads or even a few Badiyan. It's a pure bliss.

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

The most important thing to take note of is to soak both the Lentils and the Tamarind in enough for at least an hour. Alternatively if you wish to quicken the process, you can boil Tamarind for about 3-4 minutes. Let it cool down before you squeeze the juice out. Keep it aside.
2

Now add rest of the ingredients to a Pressure cooker except those listed under tempering and Tamarind water. Cook for 6-7 whistles or until done. Also add half of the Curry Leaves. Let the steam settle down on it's own before opening the lid of the cooker. After opening, add Tamarind water and let it boil for a few minutes until the raw smell of the Tamarind fades away. Also don't forget to add the Amchur or Dry Mango slices to it. Cook for about 10-12 minutes.
3

Adjust the consistency accordingly. Though it's semi thick. Neither too thick nor too watery. Adjust Salt too as required. And finally add the tempering. Tempering is a must and the quantity of Oil should be more. Otherwise Khatti Daal won't taste good. Be generous in doing so. But do not add too much of it either. Garnish with finely chopped Coriander Leaves. Serve it hot with your favourite side dishes and relish it's awesome taste and flavour. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
