Pudina Arahar Dal

Dear All

For those of you who might not know but Pudina {Mint}has lot of medicinal values. And so atlist once in a while you need to have it.Usually we make pudina chutneys and now and then add to curries.But here's what pudina can do to a boring dal. Here's a way to make your boring dal interesting.

Kindly note the ingridients

Pudina Dal

Arahar dal , Water ,Haldhi ,Salt, Sliced Chillies, Whole Dhaniya Seeds , Pudina Leaves,Curry leaves,Black Mustard.

Boil the dal in salt and haldhi......1

Make a paste of  Pudina and water.....2

Heat oil in a pan.Put the whole Dhaniya seeds, Curry Leaves ,Black Mustards ,Sliced Chillies {cook},add 2

and put Haldhi Powder,Salt {cook}in low steam and put cover for 10 secs.Remove the cover and pour in 1, mix the whole thing and put a bit of water.Put the cover and let the whole thing boil.

I will like to note one thing the consistency of the Dal entirely depends on the individual so if you want it thick don't add excessive water .

But I have always cooked it little gravy as my husband likes thick dal.

Once the whole thing is done add just one squeeze  remember just one squeeze of lemon.

Have it with rice only.Its not that its a great recipe but a twist to the boring dal....
