Lahsooni Dal | लहसूनी दाल | Yellow dal with Garlic

I had been to one of the Indian Restaurants here and had this dal.I am just in love with it.It tasted so heavenly to me and I tried this recipe today.Very easy,healthy and quick.

Ingredients :

1. Cooked Tuar Dal  - 1 Cup
2. Garlic or Lahsoon,chopped - 2 Tbsp
3. One medium Onion - Finely chopped
4. Butter - 1 Tbsp
5. Cumin Seeds - 1 Tsp
6. Turmeric - 1/2 Tsp
7. Coriander or Cilantro ,chopped - 1/4 cup
8. On Green Chilly - Finely Chopped

STEPS:

• First of all,mash the chopped Garlic a little.
• Now to theDal. add Turmeric powder and mash it well and keep aside.
• In a Pan, add Butter.Once it's hot, add Cumin seeds,Onion and Chilly.
• Now add salt.Then, Add 1 Tbsp of garlic to that butter.
• Once everthing is fried well in butter,add the dal.Add water and the remaining Garlic and Coriander leaves.
• Close the lid and let it boil for around 5 to 7 minute.This is needed so that the aroma of garlic is spread well.
• Remove the lid and let it cook for some more time to let the excess water evaporate.Now depending upon the consistency you want,out the flame off.
• While serving,add little butter and garnish with Coriander leaves.

TIPS:

• I have used Coriander stems as well as this adds really nice flavor.
• Keep the flame on MEDIUM heat trough out because we do not want butter to turn into ghee and we do not want the ingredients to be over fried.
