    Hyderabadi Khatti Dal Recipe with Step by Step Pictures. Perfectly seasoned dal made hyderabadi style. This khatti dal goes well with rice, roti.

     

    Hyderabadi Khatti Dal Recipe

    So I am starting with this simple hyderabadi dal which is so easy to make but delicious and healthy to eat. There are lots of flavourings going around this dish like garlic, ginger, curry leaves and all yummy stuffs. This dal gets its life by the seasoning which we put in last, try to make the seasoning with ghee which gives an awesome flavour to it.

     
     
     

    How to Make Khatti Dal Recipe

    1. Wash moong dal in lots of water until all starch goes away from it. Let it soak for 15 mins.
    2. Drain it and put it in a kadai. Add 4 cups of water, turmeric, green chilli, garlic, ginger, curry leaves, coriander leaves, chilli powder and mix well.
    3. Bring this to a boil and let it simmer for 20 – 25 mins until completely cooked and soft.
    4. Now add tamarind, salt and mix well. Let it simmer for 5 mins.
    5. Make seasoning heating oil. Add mustard and cumin seeds and let it crackle. Add dry red chilli and curry leaves and mix well.
    6. Pour this seasoning over the dal and mix well.
    7. Garnish with lots of coriander leaves and mix well.
    8. Serve this with rice.
