Mixed Dal (Oil Free)

I like to make traditional recipes with a twist while maintaining the taste or getting to another level. My husband has gone on diet from 2 weeks so he asked me to make something oil free although tasty and have all the nutrients. So then came to my mind lets try with the mix dal.

To make Mixed Dal (oil free) you will need :-

4 tablespoon mung dal (split with skin)

3 tablespoon mung dal (split without skin)

4 tablespoon urad dal

4 tablespoon chana dal

4 tablespoon tuvar dal

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

1/2 teaspoon carrom seeds

1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds

2 tablespoon garlic and chilly chutney

1 teaspoon coriander and cumin powder

1 teaspoon red chilly powder (optional)

Salt to taste

4 tablespoon chopped onion

4 tablespoon chopped tomatoes (optional)

Water as needed

Take a bowl and soak all the dal for 4-5 hours and wash them 3-4 times before soaking. Pressure cook dal for about 6-7 whistles and add 1-2 cups of water while cooking. After it gets cooled down add all the spices and chopped onion to it and cook properly. Add Garlic and chilly chutney and tomatoes after all the spices get  mixed. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

 Serve hot with roti or paratha. It goes very well with rice, papad and chopped onion.
