Simple Dhal recipe

Days are getting busier after my sis's marriage got fixed . I hardly find time to even think what to cook . Too much of baking in the last few days have resulted in me adding on like 4 kgs which is definitely not good . So I am so much resisting myself from baking , cooking rich foods and got back into diet phase again .

I am also planning to post from now on for next few months about the basic recipes to make it easier for my sister ;). She hardly knows to make dhal leave alone making sambhar . So this simple recipes period starts with this simple Dal which is anytime comfort food . It goes well with rice,idli, dosa and roti as well .

Ingredients :

1. Split yellow moong dhal - 1/2 cup
2. Small onion - 3 nos.
3. Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp.
4. Tomato - 1 no.
5. Sambhar powder - 1 tsp.
6. Green chilly - 2 nos.
7. Garlic - 1 pod

Method :

1. Pressure cook dhal upto 3 whistle along with sambhar powder and keep it aside.
2. Heat a pan , add oil and once it is hot add cumin seeds , let it splutter , then add onions and saute for about 30 secs.
3. Now add chopped garlic, tomato, green chilly,  and salt . Fry until tomato is completely cooked .
4. Add the boiled dhal into the pan , adjust the water and simmer it until the dhal gets thickened. 

Notes :

• Any dhal like split masoor dhal, toor dhal can be substituted for moong dhal.
