Asparagus Daal
Ingredients
1 cup Toor Daal
6-8 sprigs of fresh Asparagus sticks
1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
1/2 tsp Jeera
1/4 tsp Hing (asafoetida)
2-3 medium sized Green Chillies
Coriander leaves chopped
A few Curry Leaves
A pinch of Garam Masala (optional)
4-5 tbsp of Oil/Ghee
Salt to taste
Method:
- Pressure cook the toor daal.
- Chop the Asparagus sticks into 2 inch tall pieces.
- Heat oil/ghee in pot, add mustard seeds, when they splutter, add jeera,
hing and the curry leaves. Then add the green chillies. Fry for a bit.
- Add the asparagus sticks and fry for a while. Then cover with lid and
cook on slow fire for a while.
- When asparagus is tender (it should not become too mushy), add haldi,
the cooked toor dal and salt to taste. Add
a pinch of garam masala if you like.
- Add water to make it as thick or thin as you like. Ideally, the
consistency should be medium.
- Boil the daal and then add chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with Rice or Chapatis.
