BM # 12 Day 1
For this edition of BM I have picked up Daals,well I will try to post different forms of daals and will not restrict to the regular daals,so guys dont loose track,remain hooked to get a new variety everyday.The very first day I am starting with our Sindhi Cuisine.
Tri Daali is a regular daal served in Sindhi homes.As the name suggests its a combination of three daals.The split gram daal,udad daal and the chana daal.This is a very simple ,quick daal and has a amazing garlic flavor.
This daal is normally served with Jowar jo Dhodho.Jowar is Sorghum and Dhodho is a flat Indian bread ,thicker version of chapati,difficult to roll so either it is made in plastic sheets or made in between palms of your hands.This can be made with addition of salt or onions,green garlic,coriander too can be used to enhance the flavor.After the dhodha is cooked on either side, it is generously fried in ghee / oil .(well actually the frying part can be avoided).The fresh green garlic lends a special flavor to the dhodha,which makes it a treat in itself.A lot of homes serve it with green chutney also.

1cup..............split green gram
¼ cup.............split black gram

Wash and soak the daals for an hour.
Put all ingredients in a pressure cooker and cook for 2 whistles .
Simmer for about 7-8 minutes.
Check if the daals are cooked.
Blend them a little.
Add eneough water to get the daal to a medium to thick consistency.
Tempering

A large pinch asofoetida

Temper the daal covering the pan immediately after pouring the oil.

Add all the ingredients and bind a semi soft dough.
Make 2 balls and flatten this with your hands.
Go on slapping the dough with both palms till required thickness is acheived.
Roast it on a gridle.
If you feel it is thick sprinkle some water and press with hand ...this way the dhodha will spread on the gridle.
Once both sides are nearly cooked apply oil ..as for paratha.
Flip over and apply oil on the other side too.
Serve it hot with Tridaali Daal and green chutney...the combination of a raw onion which has been beaten with u r palm...mukka maar ke!!....well that’s how we have..without peeling the onion..giving it a good box..and..wow the rustic way to eat..and a fresh green chilly.a few drops of lemon.....m..mmm..lovely!!
