Tuar Daal....Sindhi Style

A simple,light yet delicious daal served with boiled rice.This daal is cooked at least once in a week in Sindhi kitchens.The traditional combination is ..daal chaavar  taryal patata (daal..rice and fried potatoes)…but with growing awareness no one wants to eat fried potatoes…so I make some green veggie as the side dish but yes I will still share the recipe of these potatoes(..as they are a treat to eat…) in my  future posts.

1cup……..tuar daal

2 big……..tomatoes

1 stem.…curry leaves

½ tsp…....turmeric pwd

½ tsp…...ghee

Salt to taste

Wash the daal and boil till cooked with tomatoes,curry leaves,turmeric pwd,ghee and salt.

Using a blender ,blend the daal so curry leaves and tomato too is blended.Strain this.

Tempering

2 tbsp…....oil

¼ tsp…….jeera

¼ tsp…….rai

¼ tsp…….methi dana

Pinch…… hing

¼ tsp….... finely chopped ginger

¼ tsp…….finely chopped green chilly

2-3 ….....…whole red chilly

¼ tsp……. red chilly pwd

¼ tsp…….curry powder(sambar or rasam)(optional)

1tsp………lemon juice

small bunch of coriander leaves.

The tempering has to go in the order I have written down.

Heat oil add jeera,next rai next methi….and so on..once all the ingredients go in( keep water handy ),add ¼ cup water and cook this masala,add the boiled ,blended,strained daal.

Cook for about 7-10 mins.
