    Carrot Dal Recipe

    Dal is one of the stable of the south indian , moreover it is a stable dish in my house. But usually my mum makes it in the same way, which is by boiling the dal and making a paste of coconut and some spices and adding it to the dal. She won't even forget to make a simple tempering too. But when I am cooking, I personally want each of my food to be unique and different. Even from the Basic dal to the complicated Malabar paratha.

    Ingredients for Carrot Dal 

    • Split Yellow Moong Dal / Pasi Paruppu - 1 cup
    • Onion-1 sliced
    • Tomato-2 chopped
    • Carrot-2 large chopped
    • Green chilli-2
    • Salt to taste
    • Ghee-1 tblspn
    • Mustard seeds / Kaduku-1 tsp
    • Cumin seeds / Jeerakam-1 tsp
    • Asafoetida / Hing / Kaya podi- ¼ tsp
    • Curry leaves-1 spring

    How to Make Carrot Dal

    1. Soak dal for 30 mins and drain the water, this makes the dal a little delicate and cook fast.
    2. Now take dal, carrot, onion, tomato, green chilli in a kadai...Pour in 3 cups of water and bring that to boil.
    3. Simmer this for 30 mins or until the dal is cooked through.
    4. Season with salt and mix well.
    5. Now make seasoning by heating ghee and crackling mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves.
    6. Pour this over the dal and mix well.
    7. Serve with rice or roti.

      Hi,

      Great recipe! So, we don't add salt before cooking mainly because salt increases the boiling point of the solution (dal-veggies-water mix). Therefore, time required for cooking (ie reaching boiling point) is much higher!
