Ingredients

Number of serving: 2

3 fistfuls of Toor Dal (Kandi Pappu)

1 cup of honeydew melon peeled and cut into pieces (approx.)

1 or 2 Tomatoes, chopped into pieces

A few Curry Leaves

A handful of Cilantro

½ teaspoon Mustard Seeds

¼ teaspoon Cumin Seeds

1 teaspoon Oil

A pinch of Turmeric

A pinch of Asafetida (Inguva, Hing)

1 teaspoon Sambhar Powder

1 teaspoon Tamarind Pulp (or as required)

1 teaspoon Sugar

1 teaspoon Chili Powder

Salt

Preparation

Pressure cook toor dal until it's done. Keep aside.
In a bowl heat the oil and add mustard seeds. When they splutter add cumin seeds and fry for 2 seconds.
Then add curry leaves + tomatoes + melon pieces + turmeric + sambhar powder + asafetida to the bowl and stir well.
Add the chili powder too if using. Add a small amount of water just to soak the melon pieces, cover and leave the bowl for some time on medium flame.
After some time check if the melon pieces are soft (don't let it turn too soft and mushy).
If they are soft, add the cooked dal along with tamarind pulp and sugar and stir well.
Add some more water and let the sambhar cook for some time more until it comes to a boiling point. Add salt and cilantro and mix well.
