Mustard Green Dal Tadka- Very tasty dal with a sizzling Ghee tadka

on




 Mustard greens are very popular in the groceries in winter months. They are little spicy and bitter to taste. The best way to bring them to good and healthy use is incorporate them in your dal. I used 3 types of dal in my recipe. During these busy kitchen and cooking oriented days, its ok to make a little extra and stick the rest in the fridge for another time. If you do not want to use it this week itself, stick it in the freezer. I have tried doing that and it works amazing. You should try this dal its so yummy!

Ingredients you will need:

  1. 2 cups clean and chopped mustard greens
  2. 2 whole garlic cloves
  3. 1/2 tsp hing
  4. 1 cup split Urad dal 
  5. 1 cup Toor dal
  6. 1/2 cup split Chana dal
  7. 1/2 cup split red Masoor dal
  8. 1/2 cup split yellow Moong dal
  9. 1 tsp Garam Masala 
  10. 1 tsp turmeric powder
  11. 1/2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
  12. 1/2 minced fresh ginger
  13. 1tsp coriander powder 
  14. 1 diced tomato
  15. 1 green chopped chili (optional)
  16. salt to taste



For Tadka you will need:
  1. 1 tbs ghee
  2. 1tsp whole jeera
  3. 1/2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
  4. 1/2 tsp hing
  5. 2-3 dry Kashmiri chili
  6. 1/2 cup chopped cilantro(optional)
  7. 1 tbs water

You will need a crock pot or a pressure cooker to made this dal quickly. Wash all the dals well at least thrice before adding it to the pot. Then add the washed Mustard greens. Add enough water till it covers the greens 3/4 way. Now add all the spices, diced tomato, garlic, ginger to the dal and mix it well before you begin to cook. If in standard pressure cooker give it good 4-5 whistles.
In electric pot set it for 25 mins on multigrain. It cooks perfectly. Once done stir it with a whisk to smoothen the dal and greens well.
Now it’s time to get your tadka ready in a small pot. Heat the ghee well, then add dry chili, jeera, chopped cilantro, Kashmiri red chili powder and hing to the super hot ghee and turn off the gas. Pour it sizzling hot over the dal. The aroma during this process is heavenly. There is no way you can go wrong with it.

Enjoy this dal with Jeera Rice or Warm Aloo parathas.











Yum!!!
