Dhansak Dal

Ingredients

  • 2 cups split pigeon peas (tuvar dal)
  • ½ cup red lentils (masoor dal)
  • ½ cup split chickpeas (chana dal)
  • 1 cup split mung beans (mung dal)
  • 1 potato, unpeeled
  • ½ cup chopped pumpkin (white and yellow)
  • ½ cup chopped carrots and any other vegetable you prefer
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tbsp dhansak masala
  • 1 tsp cumin (jeera) powder

  • Red chilli powder to taste
  • Unrefined salt to taste
  • 1 bay leaf (tej patta)

Method

Cook all the dals in a pressure cooker along with the potato, pumpkin and carrots. In a saucepan, sauté the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent. Add the chopped tomatoes, dhansak masala, red chilli powder, cumin and coriander powders and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Once the dals are cooked, add the tomato-onion mixture with the dal and vegetables and puree in a blender. Add salt and simmer this puree for about 15 minutes with a bay leaf.
