Lassuni Chana Daal


This is a pakistani recipe. Few days back we had this Dal in a Pakistani restaurant, we just loved it. So here is the recipe with my version.

Ingredients: ( Serves 2)
1&1/2 cup chana dal
1tsp turmeric
1 inch ginger
5-6 cloves of Garlic
1 tbsp of chilli powder
1tsp Jeera
1/2 tsp of garam masala
oil
salt

Procedure
Boil the chana dal in five cups of water, turmeric and Ginger Piece till the dal is 3/4 soft. Do not Pressure cook otherwise it will become very mushy.
Add salt and remove ginger pieces from dal once boiled.
Add Garam Masala and stir.
heat oil in seperate frying pan. Add Jeera, garlic and chilli powder.Fry it for some time. Remove it from heat and pour the entire content in pot of dal. Imediately close the lid of the pot so that the aroma doesnot go off. Dont cook the dal once you have addded the masala.
While serving spread corriander leaves.
It can be eaten with rotis or parathas since it is not much watery.
