Dal Recipe for kids / parathas


Ingredients:

  • Moong dal 1/2 cup
  • Onion 1no
  • Hing 1/2 spoon
  • Turmeric powder
  • Chilli powder
  • Jeera 1 spoon

Directions:

 Pressure cook moong dal for 2-3 whistles
 Heat up ghee / oil in a kadai

 And add turmeric powder
 Add onion and saute for couple of minutes
 Once you get the nice aroma of onions
 Add mashed dal and chillu powder, salt
 Mix well together
 And add water ( depends on the consistency how you like)
 Allow it to boil
 Once you get the bubbles there's a clue that if bubbles come side ways and not in the centre salt is less so I'm adding more salt and check the taste
