This can be made instantly.Almost its like instant mix.Fresh green peas gives it an elegant taste.
For the instant mix- In a pan dry roast moong,masoor dal,tur dal till very light pink.
- Then add tur dal powder and roast a while.
- Mix all and keep aside.
- In the same pan add red chilli powder,coriander-cumin seeds powder,cinnamon powder,cloves powder,ginger powder,pepper powder and turmeric.
- Roast all on a slow flame till all the spices release their aroma and mix with the roasted dal.
- Mix the dal and spices and keep aside.
- Also add dry fried curry leaves and dry fried green chillies.
- Mix all and add salt and mix properly.
- This is the instant mix which can be kept ready and deliciously can be cooked instantly with vegetables of your choice.
For the dal- Take 1 cup of the instant mix and add 2 cups of water and pressure cook for 3 whistles.
- Heat ghee and oil in a pan and add cumin seeds and allow to crackle.
- Then add red chilli and asafoetida.
- Add onions and saute till pink.Then add tomatoes and cook a while.
- Now add the cooked dal and cooked and semi crushed peas and cook till all masala blends together.
- Serve hot garnished with coriander.
Note- Here I have used fresh green peas.Dry green peas can also be used.Use it at the time of roasting all the dals together.
- In that case peas instant mix will be ready.
- A dash of lemon juice will still enhance the taste.
- Any available vegetables can be used or only tomatoes and onions will also do good job.
