Re: Daal Chaval..

Fry onions in 2 table spoon oil for 2 minutes then put garlic, salt, red chilli powder, haldi, corriander powder and chopped tomato and half cup of water.

keep mixing it with spoon(doi), when you smell of roasting flavour and it started to look like almost a gravy pour 4 cups of water and washed and soacked daal into it, put all the garam masala(zeera, cloves, black peppercorn, etc), mix it and wait until daal is tender, then mash it, not too much.

sprinkle dhaniyah and hari mirchen over it, you can also sprinkle fried onion rings and chopped ginger over it, sprinkle some lime juice and eat it with rice and podinay ki chatny.

Re: Daal Chaval..

:bummer:

Re: Daal Chaval..

And end up on this forum again after few hours? :stuck_out_tongue:

Just learn it :phati:

Re: Daal Chaval..

Every one has their own way of making that daal however never expect people from any other province than Sindh mainly karachi to know what you are talking bout.

The daal you are talking bout is very patli like paani and is eaten with plain boiled chawal.

For one cup of mong/masoor mixed daal the recipe is as follows.
Once you get a hang of making it alrite you can later the recipe to suit your liking

Wash the Daal properly and leave it soaked for half an hour in water.
That makes the daal soft enough to cook quickly otherwise it will take longer to cook.

Dont throw the water away, Daals have protiens which will waste away if you throw the water away.

In the same water with the soaked daal add One teaspoon of Salt, Laal Mirch and a quarter teaspoon of Haldi with Ginger and Garlic to your liking.

Let it mixture boil for half an hour. You need the daal to be thin and not thick so if you find the water has evaporated leaving the daal mixture thick add more water.

After half an hour of cooking use a wooden spoon to ghoot the daal just like you'd haleem for ten minutes. Or if you are lazy use one of those hand blenders to quicky mix it all up.

Once thats done in a seperate pan fry a medium onion in oil, once the onions are brown, add zeera, Sabut laal mirch and I like adding fresh thinly diced garlic to it. This is for Tarka or Bhigaar.

You have to be careful to not let the onions burn.

Here comes the tricky part, most people get this wrong.

The daal should be boiling when you do this. Turn the stove under the daal off, and make sure you have the lid ready to cover it.

Pour the tarka over the boiling daal and cover it instantly and let it sit for ten minutes.

When serving you can garnish it with dhania mirch and some people also like sprinkling chaat masala, i dont like it.

To make it more healthy, you can add diced mushrooms, tomatoes and capscium right before the tarka.

Re: Daal Chaval..

ahh if only i lived close to a desi restaurant.. (or wasn't so lazy... thats a better option)

Re: Daal Chaval..

sara daal is really easy to make…it’s not worth buying it from a store.

so how did it turn out?

Re: Daal Chaval..

Yes please.

Re: Daal Chaval..

I didn't read the above recipes but this is how I make:

2 hand fulls of yellow daal (mong...i think it is called mong)
2 hand fulls of pink daal
1 hand not too full of chany kee daal

Soak them for at least half an hour.

Add the daals in the pot, add water, water should at least 2-3 times the daal in the pot. Add ginger/garlic paste, salt and red pepper to taste, coriander powder 1/2 tsp, and 1/4 tsp of haldi. Cook on medium heat till it comes to 3-4 boils. Stir occasionally. After 3-4 boils reduce the heat and let the daal cook for at least 20-30 mins. See the consistency, if you like kind of watery add more water.

Tip: your daal is not cooked until the daal and water turns into a homogenous mixture, if the daal and water is separate then it means it is not cooked.
If you don't stir it occasionally, it might not cook throughout or might stick at the bottom.
If during the cooking, you feel the water is less, don't be scared of adding more water. You can always dry the access water or make it thick.

Once your daal is ready, make tarka with sliced onions and cilantro. Enjoy with white rice.
