Re: The curious case of the chutney
ooooh what’s the daal please. I know nothing about daal’s except how to cook the orange one which is the easiest.
Please post recipe!! 
Re: The curious case of the chutney
2 ways:
The simple:
1 cup Arhar daal, washed
3 cups water
1/2 tsp haldi, salt, 3 dry red chillies
boil. u may need to add more water if you’re not using a pressure cooker.
When boiled, add tarka of oil, zeera, slided 4-5 garlic pods and a tsp of red chili powder
The masala way:
to the same amount of daal and water, add haldi, mirchi, salt, and a paste made of 1 roma tomato + 1/2 onion + 4 garlic pieces + 1" ginger piece
When cooked, add tarka of zeera, curry patta, a few garlic slices and green chillies, and a tiny bit of deghi mirch for color

Re: The curious case of the chutney
What is the consistency of your daal? Thin and soupy or thick?
Re: The curious case of the chutney
somewhere in the middle of thin and thick… I’ll meet you there 
(what does that quote remind you of?)

Re: The curious case of the chutney
the hari chutney must have been for the kababs cuz it really doesn’t go with the arhar ki daal.
I love arhar ki daal but I prefer to have either one of the following as accent/condiment:
- green chillies medium sliced and roasted in a bath of vegetable oil and sprinkled liberally with salt
- banana peppers filled with a paste of imli and chaat masala and then pan fried till they are brown.
yum!!!
