This is Hyderabadi Khatti Daal by me using Pigeon Pea Lentils or Toor Daal along with Drumsticks. The rest of the process remains the same. All you need is to follow the same procedure. It tastes equally yummy and becomes even more nutritious due to the addition of Drumsticks. The colour also is appealing with a lovely yellowish hue. It actually tastes a lot more better this way.
It's an everyday affair here in the City. Khatti Daal is the most loved one and it goes along with any and every side dish. It's a must have for many and there are many households where it is made on a daily basis. My maternal home is one such. My younger brother's family loves it so much. It's enjoyed a lot by the whole family.
As for me, I too make it often but not on a daily basis. For my children variation is the best alternative. They wouldn't settle for the same dish everyday.
Let's get down to the recipe right away.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

25-35 minutes

1

Add all the ingredients to a pressure cooker except tamarind and cook on a high heat for 7 whistles. Also don't forget to add 2 cups of water.
2

Let the pressure settle down on it's own. In the meantime, squeeze the pulp from the soaked tamarind. Add a cup of water to it while squeezing out the pulp. Add this tamarind water to the cooked daal. Adjust salt at this stage. Adjust water also. It should be a semi thick one. It should not be watery.
3

Let it come to a rolling boil on a high heat at first and then allow it to simmer for about 10-12 more minutes. Meanwhile prepare the tempering and add it directly to the pot with the daal. Mix and it's all ready to be enjoyed. Yum!

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.
