Andhra Style Munagakaya Pappu or Daal with Drumsticks
#dals
#cookpadindia
A healthy and a flavourful Daal recipe from my home State. It's almost an everyday affair in most of the homes including mine. It tastes best with Pigeon Pea Lentils but a mix of Bengal Gram or Chana Daal with it also tastes better. You can mix both the daals or use any one of it according to your liking. But personally i prefer the Pigeon Pea Lentils. Made with simple pantry staples along with Drumstick pieces, it is helluva lot healthy and wholesome too. A complete comfort meal by all means, it can be served piping hot with plain boiled Rice and Pickle for a satiating Lunch experience. Poppadums or Papad alongside add much needed charm to the meal.
Happy Cooking Friends!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash and soak the lentils in enough water for 4-5 hours. Pressure cook them with chopped onion and tomatoes, turmeric, ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, a little of salt and curry leaves for almost 6 whistles or as required.
- 2
Let the pressure settle down before opening the lid of the cooker. Mix well and add the drumstick pieces now. You can pressure cook them for 4 whistles if desired. But i prefer them being slow cooked on fire until tender.
- 3
This way the drumsticks get cooked properly and are not mushy at all. If we pressure cook, then the chances are that they might become too soft and over cooked and will not taste good.
- 4
Cover with a lid and simmer until the drumsticks are done. This might take atleast 20 minutes on a medium high heat. Keep stirring in between at regular intervals. Now add tamarind water (which we get by squeezing the soaked tamarind) to adjust the consistency of it to your liking by adding extra water if required.
- 5
Now comes the tempering part. Heat ghee on a low heat and add asafoetida first. Next add all the other ingredients one by one. Let the seeds crackle and the cloves get fried with a nice aroma. Now is the time to add this tempering to the daal. Mix well and it's all ready to be served.

Serve this yummy, flavourful, aromatic and healthy daal with rice and pickle alongside poppadums for a comfort meal par excellence.

Palak Dal Palak Dal
#greenveg - This is a simple homemade-style Palak Dal (spinach lentil) that is popular in most of the regions of India but with slight variations in the method of cooking and in the choice of ingredients. Today I bring to you the South Indian version.Whatever way this dal-spinach combo is cooked, it simply tastes yummy. It is equally healthy and nutritious as it is loaded with iron and proteins which is very essential for a well balanced diet. Enjoy it with rice or chapatis for a satisfying and a wholesome meal. -

Amma ka Daal (Mom's Lentil Recipe) Amma ka Daal (Mom's Lentil Recipe)
My ultimate comfort food is cumin rice (Jeera Chawal) with this dal. This is my mom's recipe, so truly meri maa ki dal. It's a very simple recipe with very basic ingredients. The best part of this dish is that the spice mix can be made in bulk and frozen for use later. I don’t encourage it but as our days get busy this may be a great time saver.There is an interesting story behind this humble staple dish on our table. For many years, we could never get my mom’s taste in our dal. During one of my mom’s cooking sessions, my wife and I shadowed her like understudys, noting every detail of her cooking to the minutest details. Our dal would never get her taste. Then we realized that one of the key ingredients that gave this dish a unique velvety satisfying flavor is ‘smoked ghee tadka laced with cumin”. Be kind and don’t skimp on this step if you really want to get the flavor right.

Raw Mango Rice Raw Mango Rice
Have you ever tried Mango rice?? If not, then give your boring rice a makeover with this lovely recipe. I was scrolling through YouTube and there I came across this lovely recipe which includes unripe mangoes (kacha aam) to give a healthy twist to our regular rice.We, here in the North, do not relish rice this way, so it was pretty new flavour for my family. The raw mango gives tangy taste to the rice whereas assorted dals and peanuts give it a crunch, a tantalizing aroma and interesting mouth feel.You can savour it with side dishes like ginger chutney or curd. But I devoured this as it is, enjoying every bite and feeling every single flavour. Yummmm!#khana

Okra (Bhindi) Sambar Okra (Bhindi) Sambar
This is another south canara favorite, called "bol koddel" in local-speak. You can create variations of this, by replacing Okra with any vegetable with a hard texture, like cucumber, squash, beets, radishes and so on. They all taste different, and the end product tastes quite different in each case. Enjoy!
