Hesarable thovve/Green gram dal

(from Nandini’s recipe box)

Categories: Side dish for Idli/Dosa, daal recipies, sambar/Curry/Huli

Ingredients

  • Among all the dals, I love this dal the most. It gives out a unique flavour. To get the most of this dal, do not overcook hesarable. The grain should be soft and separated but not like a paste..
  • You need:
  • 1cup hesarable (dry roast this with a tsp of ghee)
  • 1 1/4 cup of water
  • 1 green cucumber deskinned and chopped
  • 1/2cup chopped coriander
  • Juice of a lime
  • Salt to taste
  • To season
  • 1tbsp oil, a pinch of hing, 1tsp mustard, 1 chopped green chillie, 1tsp urad dal, 1tsp channa dal

Directions

  1. Pressure cook the dal until it is soft but not mushy. In a pan, add the seasonings, add the cucumber and mix well. Close the lid for 5-6 minutes till the cucumber is soft. Now add the cooked dal, coriander leaves, juice of a lime and salt to taste and mix everything well. This goes very well with hot rice and ghee..
