Dal Fry is usually prepared with toor dal. Dal is a staple food in most Indian homes. Chotu & myself are big fans of this Dal Fry. We can  live with this simple Dal Fry for days together, along with steamed rice and a sabji. It is perfect for a lazy day, yet a complete & satisfying meal. Garlic Potato Fry is the best combo for this. This Dal Fry is so easy that even Bachelors can make it in a jiffy..

Dal Fry Ingredients:

  • Toor Dal – 1 cup
  • Onion – 1
  • Tomato – 1
  • Green chilly – 1
  • Garlic Pods – 4 or 5
  • Ghee – 2 tbsp
  • Cumin Seeds – 1 tsp
  • Salt – as needed
  • Turmeric powder – a pinch
  • Chilli powder – 1 tsp
  • Amchur powder – a pinch
  • Asafoetida –  a pinch
  • Coriander leaves – 1 tbsp

Method:

  • Pressure cook toor dal along with asafoetida until the dal is mushy. I usually cook dal by keeping it in simmer for 10 mins after 1 whistle. Heat pan with half of the ghee and temper with cumin seeds. Once they splutter add chopped garlic followed by chopped chilly and onions and saute till they are transparent.
