Re: Urad daal recipe
what If i dont have a pressure cooker 
I was thinking of making it this way, tell me if my way is going to be good since I dont own pressure cookers
I was going to heat oil then add fresh chopped lehsan and zeera and stir it till it releases its aroma.
To that add haldi, powdered kashmiri laal mirch and salt, stir it till the haldi releases its smell then add daal to it with water and cook on low heat till its cooked.
Follow it by tarka.
Re: Urad daal recipe
NObody in my place likes fresh tomatoes, so im going to also add tomato paste to it.
Re: Urad daal recipe
It can be done but urad daal takes forever to cook, so you'll have to be patient. But yes, that's a great recipe plan!
Re: Urad daal recipe
oh and can i add baby spincah to it?? I have it sitting in the fridge and I wanto use it :(
Re: Urad daal recipe
How long is forever Niksik 2 hours??
Re: Urad daal recipe
Hmm, I've never tried it with baby spinach, but what the heck, give it a shot. Or just make baby spinach salad on the side, or aloo palak.
I would say, yeah, hour and a half to 2. People back home cook it on low overnite to get the best flavor…but that’s totally too much 
so you’ll be fine with a couple of hours.
Re: Urad daal recipe
aloo palak sounds good. Thanks Niksik 
Im used to cooking my daals for two hours anyways. Wish me luck Im adding the lehsan and zeera this very minute 
Re: Urad daal recipe
Good luck! Post pics later!
Re: Urad daal recipe
TWO HOUR DAAL? 
i knew i was doing something wrong! i used my mom’s recipe but i kinda messed it up, it was too dry and what not. nevermind all the trouble i had just finding the right daal cz the guy kept saying urad dal is never yellow 
this is whole urad daal,that is with the chilka…or the one which isnt washed/dehusked or split yet…
someone correct me if i’m wrong…
Re: Urad daal recipe
this is urud daal with chilkha and it's caal sabut maash in punjabi.
Well it is very best when cooked with meat. Yummy indeed.
Re: Urad daal recipe
Indeed there are six types of Urd.
Black sabut urd
Green sabut urd
Split black urd
Split green urd
Washed split (that can be of both type - green or black)
Re: Urad daal recipe
In our homes, we cook green split urd with spinach and eat with rice
During winter, we cook its kitchri and eat it with desi ghee, moli and khatai/haray dhanyia ki chutni.
We cook black washed urd either with meat or just plainly (with ginger and bullet chilles). Or we make it dhai baray. It also makes a very good combination with channa daal when cooked dried like rice.
And whole black urd always with meat.
