Methi masoor dal

I love methi. Masoor dal is my favourite. We have dals for dinner every day. Enough said!

1 measure masoor dal

1/2 tsp haldi powder

1 bunch methi leaves

4 cloves garlic

1 medium onion,chopped fine

1/2 tsp jeera

1 green chilli

Salt to taste

1 tbsp mustard oil

Method:

Clean and wash the dal, and cook it in a pressure cooker with haldi powder till soft. Mash and keep aside.

Meanwhile, heat the mustard oil, splutter the jeera seeds, then saute garlic and onions till onions turn transparent.

Wash the methi, remove the leaves, and chop into fine pieces. Add to the onions, and saute till it releases water, and then dries up. 

Add the cooked dal, and more water if required. Bring to a boil, lower the flame and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes. Serve with rice or rotis
