masoor dal recipe | masoor ki daal | masoor dal tadka recipe with step by step by photo recipe. a simple dal recipe which is known for its simplicity and taste is also known as khadi dal recipe in south india or particular in hyderabad. masoor dal tadka is traditionally tempered with spices like chilli powder, garam masala to cooked dal. this is than later typically eaten with any rice recipes like jeera rice, matar pulao or even with roti or paratha.
i guess dal recipes are such a common recipe in every indian household, yet we do not give great importance to it. even i had missed this simple and healthymasoor ki daal from my blog, though i prepare it quite often like once or twice a week. every time i prepare it, i introduce some variation tomasoor dal and it could be in thickness, tempering or even mix it with other dal. i even experiment by adding fried chopped garlic as tempering with normal tadka. lately, i have started to skip the tomatoes too, and just add finely chopped red onions andwith some lemon juice.
while the recipe ofmasoor ki daalis so simple and there isn’t any complicated steps. yet i would like to share few tips and recommendations for a perfectmasoor dal recipe.i have pressure cooked the dal for 3 whistles which is more than enough for red lentil to cook. comparatively, it get cooked much faster than toor dal or chana dal. secondly, you can extend the same recipe by adding some methi leaves, palak leaves or even with lauki to make its respectivemasoor dal tadka recipe. finally, if you like to make it more creamy than i would recommend to add quarter cup of coconut milk just before adding tadka.
finally, i would like to highlight my other dal recipes collection and sambar recipes collection from my website. this includes, dal fry, dal tadka, mango dal, chana dal, moong dal, lemon rasam, panchamel dal, dal makhani and dal palak recipe. in addition do visit my other recipes collection from my website like,
