Khatti Dal (Sour Lentils)

This is another yummy Indian dish that is suitable for vegans.  I am now going to show you how to do a 1 pot method for making khatti dal. All I do is I make the seasoning part of the dal first in a pressure cooker and add my dal (lentils)  and other masalas (spices)  that makes up the rest of this  yummy dish.  Let’s get  started.

I soaked 1 cup of  either toor dal,  moong ki dal, masoor ki dal or you can mix all 3 of them for 4 hours to overnight after I washed  them.

I  added  to the pressure cooker 1 oz of olive oil and turned it on to high heat.  I added 1 pinch each of mustard seeds, hing and cumin seeds, 1 onion  or shallot cut in to half moon slices then cooked until it is brown, 1 pinch of pink salt, 1 whole dried round red chili, 3 curry leaves, 3 cloves of garlic chopped, 1 pinch each of turmeric and red chili powder,  1 tomato cooked down til it is mushy,  1 small marble size of tamarind, 1 small piece of ginger peeled, washed and crushed.

I stirred and added the dal (lentils) that I had been soaking to the masala mix with 4 cups of water. I closed the pressure cooker and watched the button pop up and  turned the heat down to medium heat for 15 minutes.  I turned off the heat when time was up and when the button is lowered then it is time to open the pressure cooker.

I tasted it and the lentils  was nice and soft.  At this  stage you can eat it with chapati or rice.
