Hi friends, thank you for reading my post. Today I am sharing a recipe of masur dal which brings home memories of India and my mother's cooking. This lentil soup/broth or as we call in marathi amti was made as accompaniment with fish fry or any other non-vegetarian fry recipes along with rice. With out much more explaining lets look into the recipe.

For tempering:
Oil -1 tbsp
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp red chilli powder
3-4 garlic pods

Method:

1. Wash dal and add additional 2 cups of water in a pressure cooker.

2. Add 1 tsp of red chilli powder, onion, tomato, sliced garlic, asoefitida and salt to taste. Mix well. Close the pressure cooker and turn off the heat after 3 whistles.

3. Open the cooker after its cooled down. at oil for tempering in a small pan. Add cumin and crushed garlic and let it brown and finally add chilli powder.
