Recipe Instructions:
-
Soak the dal: Begin by soaking the dal in water with a pinch of baking soda for about 1 hour. This helps in softening the dal and reducing the cooking time.
-
Boil the dal: Once soaked, drain the water and transfer the dal to a pot. Add bay leaves and salt to the dal. Boil until the dal is cooked, but make sure it is not fully mashed. We want to retain some texture.
-
Fry the coconut: While the dal is cooking, prepare the coconut by cutting it into small dices. In a separate pan, heat vanaspati and fry the coconut dices until they turn golden brown. This step adds a delightful crunch to the dish.
-
Prepare the tempering: In another frying pan, heat vanaspati and add cumin seeds, whole red chilies, and asafoetida powder. Let them splutter and release their aroma. This tempering will elevate the flavor of the dal.
-
Combine the ingredients: Once the dal is cooked, add the prepared tempering to it. Also, add the fried coconut and sugar. Mix well and let it cook for another 2 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Serve hot: Gholar Dal is best enjoyed hot! Serve it with some fluffy phulko luch (flatbread) for a complete and satisfying meal. ๐ฒ
Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite of this Gholar Dal recipe! Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend meal with family and friends. ๐
