This recipe was an accident actually,but i guess sometimes when we do things by mistake turns out the best thing we did. My family loves the fresh ,sweet & sour taste of this dal plus we enjoy the goodness of an apple in our meal.I have to say that once i started making this,i kinda got hooked to it and now i make it atleast once a week.
Apple dal
Ingredients:
2 green granny smith apples cut into cubes (i don't peel the skin)
green chillies slit 3-4
tumeric powder 1/2stp
cooked toovar dal 1 cup
dhaniya/corriander powder 1tsp
ginger finely minced 2tsp
tomatoes finely chopped 1
corriander leaves for garnish
salt,a pinch of sugar
for tempering
ghee 2tsp
cloves 1tsp
jeera seeds 1tsp
mustard seeds 1/2tsp
hing 1/2tsp
Method:
So the method is very simple
1)In a vessel add the tempering ingredients, once they start to splutter
2) add the green chillies , diced apples along with the dried ground spice powders,cover and cook still they r soft but not mushy
3) add the cooked dal,chopped tomatoes,ginger and the seasonings (salt & sugar)
4) adjust the consistency of the dal,allow it to cook in simmer for 10mins
serve piping hot with steamed rice.
