Dal roti khao, Prabhu ke gun gaao!!!

Whole Masoor  (Channangi bele or ??????? ????) dal is very tasty to eat with rotti, chapati or rice. 

Salt to taste

Red chilly powder - 2 tbsp

Jaggery - 1 tsp

Oil - 1 tbsp

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Heat oil in a vessel. Add mustard seeds, Jeera and curry leaves. Put onion and garlic. Fry till the color is changed. Now add all dry powders and tomato. Cover and cook till the tomato is almost cooked(may take 10 minutes). Now add jaggery and cooked dal. Add 1 cup of water. Boil for few minutes. Check the consistency of dal you need and adjust the seasoning. Cook for few more minutes. Dal is ready to eat.

For Jowar rotti (old post, click here)

Jowar(Millet) flour - 1 cup

Salt -1 tsp
Water ? 1 cup (to make dough)
A square piece of cloth
Keep water in a vessel to boil. Add salt to it. Take Jowar flour in a big plate or wide vessel. Add little boiling water slowly to the flour and add little cold water and make the dough ready. It is not sticky like chapatti atta. It will be little softer. When you take it in hand and press it will spread easily. Keep little warm water in a vessel with cloth piece ready.
Now take a big lemon size and press it slowly to make it round. Spread little Jowar atta on the platform where you want to make rottis. Keep the flattened ball and slowly start patting. This is the tricky thing. You should be moving it circular while patting.(I don?t know whether ?patting? is right word or not?). Again the tricky thing comes, to take it in hand and put it on hot tawa. Be very careful while doing this, otherwise rotti will be into pieces. After putting rotti in tawa, immediately spread little water with soaked cloth piece on the upper part. After few minutes, turn the rotti and just cook other side. You can press it with spatula to be sure that it?s cooked properly.

Serve hot with dal or wait for a day and eat with dal.

If you can eat only just one day old rotti, it tastes delicious.
