Gujarathi Dal from Sukham Ayu; for ICC


By Chettinad Fiesta (Visit website)




The Indian Cooking Challenge for January, was to make the delicious Gujarati Dal from Sukham Ayu - an award winning Ayurvedic cook book by Pratiba Jain & Jigyasa Giri
It got made in a jiffy. And it was very tasty. We were quite hungry and did not have the time or energy to make Roti / Rice. So, we had it with Wheat Dosa; and it was yum.

Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
Yam - 8-10 small flat pieces

Fenugreek seeds - 1/4 tsp

Red Chilli - 3
Curry leaves - a few
Asafoetida

Method:
Soak dal in 2 cups of water for about half an hour.
Pressure cook with 1 cup water, turmeric powder and oil for 2 whistles and then 3 minutes on slow flame. Remove from heat. Open after the pressure drops. 
Add all the other ingredients except garam masala and coriander leaves.
Add about 1 cup water and cook on slow flame for (20 minutes), stirring occasionally until the vegetables are cooked.
