Hyderabadi Khatti Dal is a very well known side dish which many of us already know about but in this Khatti Daal, I have used Red Lentils or Whole Masoor Daal (Sabut Masoor) along with Drumsticks which is also a part of my little innovative idea. Although Khatti Daal is made with Pigeon Pea Lentils or Toor Daal , Tamarind and Tomatoes, I have made it using Green Leafy Vegetables like Spinach, Red Sorrel Leaves, Green Sorrel Leaves, Fenugreek Leaves etc till now and have updated them on my profile here. But this time I have chosen Whole Masoor Daal (Sabut Masoor) or Red Lentils for the same and have incorporated Drumsticks in it. Thus giving it an entirely different direction. The taste remains exactly the same. Superb as usual. Drumsticks also lend it a lovely flavour. That's it. So let's get started folks. Happy Cooking with Zee!

Steps

35 minutes

1

Soak Lentils for a good 4-5 hours. This is important. Next is to add all the ingredients mentioned to a Pressure Cooker except the Tamarind and those listed under tempering.
2

Add about a glass of water and Pressure cook for about 4-5 whistles on a high heat. Set aside until the pressure settles down.
3

Open the lid and add Tamarind water to it which can be obtained by squeezing the soaked Tamarind nicely. Add this water and bring it to a rolling boil on a high heat at first and then allow to simmer for about 10 more minutes. Adjust Salt at this stage and also the consistency. It should be a semi thick one.
4

Prepare the tempering and add it to the cooked Khatti Daal. Give it a gentle mix and it's all ready to be served. 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.
