Phodnichi Dal / Spicy Chana Dal


By Twist to the Taste (Visit website)



This is a traditional recipe that has passed on from generations. This dish is made in my house during the 'Gauri-Ganapati' festivities and is offered as 'Prasad'.
'Phodnichi Dal' is the marathi equivalent of 'Tempered dal'. Though I have feasted on this wonderful dish for years, it is only today that I called up my mom and took the recipe.
Today, being the first day of 'Gauri Pooja', I prepared this at home.

Ingredients:

Chana Dal (soaked for 3 hours)
Green Chillies - chopped
Curry Leaves (Kadipatta)
Turmeric Powder
Red Chilly Powder
Asafoetida
Salt to taste
Lime
2 tsp oil
Mustard seeds for tempering
Coriander / Cilantro for garnishing

Soak the Chana dal for 3 hours. Heat oil in a pan and throw in the mustard seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves and green chillies. Saute for some time.
Add turmeric powder, red chilly powder and the soaked chana dal.
Cover and cook. Sprinkle a little water in between.
Once the dal has cooked well, add salt and a generous dash of lime. Garnish with Coriander.
The lip smacking chatpata side dish is ready!!!
