When my mother-in-law got admitted in a hospital 18 km away, my dear friend Shefali Arvind who lived near by was kind enough to provide breakfast. And she served chappathi (my in-law is severely diabetic) everyday with some variant of dal. And my in-laws liked one particular dal a lot.
So I called her up for the recipe and this dal is not only tasty but VERY easy to make.
Split yellow gram dal / cheru parippu - 1 cup
Salt
Turmeric powder - 1tsp
Pepper powder - 1 tsp
Ghee - 1tbsp
Jeera - 1 tsp
(Opt) Onion - 1 small , chopped
Tomato - 1 small , chopped
Chilli powder - 1 tsp
Soak the dal in water for half an hour and keep for boiling.
When nearly cooked add the salt , turmeric powder and pepper powder. Continue boiling.
I preferred to mash the dal, but that is up to you.
In a seperate vessel heat the ghee.
Splutter jeera and if using onion, fry till translucent.
Add the tomato and when the skin starts to peel add the chilli powder.
After a minute, add to the dal.
Serve with white rice , pulav or chappathy.
