This is an easy and quick dal, I had some Sun Dried Tomato Chutney at home so used that instead of tomatoes and it tasted great.

Ingredients
1/2 cup Split Masoor dal
2 tbsp Sun Dried Tomato Chutney
2 green chilies
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/4 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
10 curry leaves
salt to taste

Method

  1. Place the dal in a pressure cooker. Add green chilies, curry leaves and 2 cups water.
  2. Pressure cook the dal for about 3 whistles or till cooked.
  3. Once the pressure releases, heat 1 tsp oil and add the cumin seeds.
  4. Once they splutter add the coriander powder, red chili powder and turmeric powder.
  5. Add the sun dried tomato chutney and add this to the dal.
  6. Bring the dal to a boil, adding some water if required.
  7. Adjust seasonings, add salt if needed.
  8. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
  9. We had it with capsicum bjajji and roti.
