Fresh and small Fenugreek and Dill Leaves are available aplenty now a days. So what better way to start making something with it than our most loved Daal. This Daal will make you lick your fingers. It's a perfect comfort food for everyone. Relish it with plain boiled Rice and Ghee. You will want more and more of it. A new twist to the Khatti Daal of Hyderabad by me. You will love this combination Daal for sure.
An amazingly done comfort food or better still, a soulful meal that is unparalleled both in terms of taste and looks. Simple yet elegant side dish to any meal. It is by all means a true comforting food with desi Ghee drizzled on top and some Pickle of choice with steaming hot bowl of Rice or Rotis/Phulkas. It goes well with just anything and everything. And it has 2 Leafy Greens in it making it healthy and flavourful. And the best part is that it can be made on any day for routine meals. Feed this awesome Leafy Greens to your families and stay safe and healthy.

1

Wash and soak dal in about 2 cups of water. Add chopped Onions, Ginger garlic paste, Red Chilli and Turmeric powders. Also stir in chopped Tomatoes, whole Green Chillies and the soaked and drained Daal to a Pressure Cooker. Also add the chopped Fenugreek and Dill Leaves both.
2

Pressure cook on a high heat for about 6-7 whistles or as required. Add enough water to facilitate better cooking. Set aside until the pressure settles down on it's own.

Open the lid and allow it to simmer on a low heat. You can adjust the consistency accordingly. Also don't forget to add squeezed Tamarind water to it. Cook until the raw smell fades away. Prepare the tempering with the ingredients listed under it's heading and add it to the cooked Daal. That's it. It's all ready now. 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.
