Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole masoor dal
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup coconut
  • salt to taste

To temper:

  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon urad dal
  • a small sprig curry leaves
  • a pinch hing
  • 1 no red chilli

Instructions

  • Rinse masoor dal well, strain and set aside. To a sauce pan add water, let it boil.
  • Add salt and rinsed dal to it. Let it cook until soft. Press to check and see, be careful not to burn your fingers. Should be soft and not mushy so keep an eye. Set aside.
  • To a pan - heat oil add the items listed under 'to temper' let it splutter. Then add dal give a good toss. Saute until moisture leaves. I did not have much water after cooking dal so added as such. If you have more water strain a bit then add.
  • Add coconut, mix well and switch off. Add salt if needed. Relish Masoor Dal Sundal!

Notes

  • After cooking masoor dal if there is more water then strain and add it.If there is just little water , add as such and let it dry up while sauteing.
  • You can make sweet version by adding 2 tablespoon cane sugar after tempering.You can also use 1/4 cup jaggery syrup.
  • Instead of cooking in open pot you can even pressure cook it for 2-3 whistles but be careful not to mush it up.You need the whole lentils and not mushy.
  • Do not over cook after adding coconut.
