Dal Fry recipe
Dal fry is the delicacy of North india. I have already put up Dalithoy and Rasam which are purely South Indian delicacies , but this Masala Dal is something unique and tastes heavenly. For this dish I use four types of Lentils namely Tuvar Dal, Split Green gram Dal, Chickpeas Dal and Masoor Dal in a specified proportion. Some prepare this dish only with Tuvar dal. With the combination of theses four Lentils it really tastes something different and great.
Ingredients:-
 
  • 1 cup Toovar Dal
    		•
     
  • 3/4 cup Onions (chopped)
    		•
     
  • 2-1/2 cups Water

  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
    		•

    		•
     
  • 1 tsp Ginger (chopped)
    		•
     
  • 1 cup Tomatoes (chopped)
    		•
     
  • 1 tsp Green Chillies (chopped)
    		•
     
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
    		•
     
  • 1 tsp Chilli powder
    		•
