Directions
Spicy Dhal With Tomatoes,This makes a very colorful dhal, with a decent amount of spiciness. I eat this as a main dish over rice. It also serves as a nice side dish; in that case, double the servings. Originally from _Curried Favors_.,Great!! Love non-meat dinners, and this is just so damn tasty! Nice & spicy too. A favourite,This is a most wonderful dal and I have to thank you on behalf of my whole family for posting this recipe! used 1 1/2 cups of toor dal to make this. Instead of jalapeno peppers which are very hard to find here, used 2 green chillies. Also, used 1 medium onion, chopped instead of a whole cup{that was way too much for us}. As far as garlic goes, used 4 cloves instead of 1 tsp. used 1 1/2 tsps. of salt for this dal. We made this in our pressure cooker and pressure cooked the dal till we heard the first whistle. It was tender by then. The tomato mixture was prepared on the side. Once the dal was done, I mashed it and added the tomato mixture to it. The rest of the recipe was perfect. We’ve made this a regular and love it! Thank you for posting this one!
