How to Make Dal Fry

Heat a pan with ghee, oil or butter. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and dried red chili. When the spices begin to splutter, add hing.

Next add onions and green chilies. Saute until the onions turn golden.

Add ginger garlic and saute until the raw smell of ginger garlic goes off. This takes about a minute.

Then add tomatoes and salt. Saute on a medium flame until tomatoes turn soft.

Add red chili powder, garam masala and turmeric. Saute for 2 mins till the masala begins to smell good & leaves the pan.

Add the mashed dal & mix well. Pour more water as needed to bring it to a desired consistency. (watch video)

Cook until the dal begins to bubble well. When dal fry reaches the desired consistency, crush kasuri methi in your palms and add it.

Taste test and add more salt if needed. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Serve dal fry with rice, roti, butter naan or paratha. When the temperature comes down slightly squeeze in some lemon juice.
