Delicious Dill Daal Recipe

@veganchefkiwi shares her recipe on how to create a flavorful and nutritious Dill Daal that is quick and easy to make!

✨Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup toor daal (lentils)

• 1 1/2 cups water (adjust to preference)

• 2-4 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

• 2-3 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped

• 1 large tomato, chopped

• 1/4 cup mixed veggies (carrots, peas, etc.)

• Salt to taste

• 1/3 tsp turmeric powder

• 1/2 tsp coriander powder (optional)

✨For Tempering:

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• 1 tbsp garlic, crushed

• 1 tbsp cumin seeds

• 1 green chili, minced (adjust to taste)

• A pinch of asafoetida (hing)

✨Instructions:

1. Prepare the Daal: Wash and soak the toor daal for 4-8 hours (optional, but recommended for a creamier texture and better nutrient quality). Add the soaked daal to a pressure cooker with 1 1/2 cups of water. If you're not using a pressure cooker, you may need to add more water.

2. Add Ingredients: Mix in the dill, coriander, tomato, and your choice of veggies. Add salt, turmeric, and coriander powder to taste.

3. Cook: Pressure cook the daal until it's soft and well-cooked. If using a regular pot, cook on medium heat until the daal is tender, adding water as needed to reach your desired consistency.

4. Tempering: In a small pan, heat the coconut oil over low heat. Add the crushed garlic and roast until golden. Then, add cumin seeds, minced green chili, and a pinch of asafoetida. Let it sizzle for a few seconds before pouring it over the cooked daal.

5. Serve: Stir the tempering into the daal and serve hot with rice or Indian bread.

Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious Dill Daal! 😋
