Simple Easy Dhall


Tonight, I decided to try out the Airfryer Chicken Varuval recipe and since I'm making that, we go Indian theme tonight. So, to feed the girl, I made curry dhall that she loves.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dhall, pre-soaked with hot water for at least 30mins to removed the phytic acid
  • 1/2 onion, sliced thinly
  • 1 carrot, cut to big cubes
  • few pieces of curry leaves
  • 2 tablespoon of dhall spice (pre mix but if you don't have it, you can also make this combo yourself - 1 tsp garam masala, 2tsp tumeric powder. 1/2tsp curry powder, 1/8tsp cinnamon powder, 1/2tsp cumin powder, 1/2tsp cardamon powder)
  • 2tbsp home made tomato sauce, recipe here
  • 3cups of water
  • 1tbsp oil
  • 1tsp salt
Steps:
  1. Pre heat the pressure cooker pot. I used high saute mode. Heat up the oil
  2. Add in the onion and curry leaves. Saute till the onion is soften.
  3. Add in the spice and fry till it form a paste like mixture in the pot.
  4. Add in the dhall, carrot and water.
  5. Change the pressure cooker to manual pressure mode and select KPT 12mins.
  6. Once done, let the pressure valve fall before opening the cooker and season with salt.
*KPT = Keep pressure time
