Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
Maash ki daal is whitish yellow and the grains are elongated ovals.
It stands out from the other yellow daals you cant go wrong with it

i too did use haldi and i know its a key ingredi for Tahiri..but used less amount...because i made it only for myself (hubs was at an official dinner) and in a real hurry and this happens always with me..when i make something only for myself it doesn't turn out that good...but when i make it for my husband as well...then its simply marvellous..i dont know whats the reason :-S
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
can anyone of you pls share recipe of tahiri...seems like a quick easy dish :)
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
Here is how i makes Tahiri.
Rice 2 cup soaked in water for 20 or 30 min
oil 1/2 cup
onion 2 small size or one big thinly sliced
ginger ,garlic paste 1 tbs each
gram masala powder 1/2 tsp or sabut garam masala (long,darchini,bari ilachi,kali mirch)
salt as per ur taste
cumin seeds 1tsp
corriander powder 1tsp
heldi 1 1/2 tsp
red chili powder 1tsp
green chilies 2,3 acording to ur taste
tomatoes medium size 2,3 cut in cubes or chopped
one main ingrediant is potato cut in small cubes, people add other vege like peas and carrots too,but actually only potatoes are used and this is a dish rice with potatoes. or may be every region has his own variations.
Method
1- heat oil in apan and add sliced onions,add cumin seeds and if u are using whole garam masala then add it also.
2-stirr onions frequently,when light brown add ginger garlic paste to it,cook for few min.
3-Add salt,red chilli powder,heldi,corriander powder and garam masala powder,i prefer to use whole garam masala powder not powder one.cook for few min,add little water to avoid the masala to sticking.
4- add chopped or cubed tomatoes and gren chillies sliced or u can add whole too. cook it well until the tomatoes tender .( khoob acchi tarah sai bhonana hai).u can add few spoons of yogurt too.add cubed potatoes and cook for few more min.
5 -add water like 4 cups as i usually add double amount of water that is 2cup rice and 4 cup water or 3 1/2 cupwater,u can add as u does. when it start boiling add rice to it.cook on medium flame until all water evaporates,slow the flame to its lowest point and put the rice on dum .after 15 min the tahiri will be ready.
serve it with raita and chutny.
I heard about tahiri with mutton too,and i tried it but i pesonaly dont like it ,it looks like rice witb allo ghosht.i think its good in its actuall way.
This is my way of making tahiri which i adopted from my MIl.Girls shre ur recipe for tahiri.

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
With some fine details… 
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
I dont use tomatoes in my tahri. Just sautee half a sliced onion and when its brown, add chopped half onion and masalas (salt mirch haldi zeera) and when its bhoonaafied, i add potatoes and bhoon till the potatoes are nice and golden. Then proceed with water and rice. It turns out really yummy, and so easy to make.
