Tomato Dal / Tomato Pappu

Andhra Style Tomato Pappu :


Ingredients :
 


Tomatoes : 4 - 5
Green Chillies : 3-4
Turdal/kandhipappu - 2 cups
Onion - 1 -Grated finely
tamarind - lemon sized
Salt : acc to taste
chilli powder: acc to taste


Tadka :


mustard seeds - 1spn
urad dal- 1spn
chana dal- 1spn
jeera- 1spn
kadi pattha/karivepaaku - fist ful
red chilli slits
garlic ( Very Imp) - 5 to 6 pods




Before starting to cook, I suggest to just soak turdal with a pich of haldi and one spoon of oil.It makes the dal soft and allows it to get cooked faster when we start cooking.


Take a cooker.just add the soaked dal,onion,tomatoes,slit green chillies and add.
Now add tamarind.


Dont add salt at this moment as it stops dal from getting soft.Add haldi, chillipowder and close the cooker lid and allow it to get cooked till its consistency is mushy.


Now mash the dal, add salt and keep aside.


Take a small kadai, add 2 spoons of oil and add all the tadka ingredients.
Add this tadka to the dal above and ur home will be touched with the essence of heaven !!!


Now have it with hot steamed rice with vadiyams or papads as side dish.


My god !!! You will be lost :)
