Potato Dal Curry

This used to be our "almost" everyday side dish for chapati during my growing up years. Mom used to make this atleast thrice a week to go with chapati and how I crave for this even now!!!! And the good news is that its very very simple to make and hassle free.

To pressure cook:

Toor Dal: 1/2 cup

Potato: 2 medium cubed

Onion: 1 medium sliced

Ginger: 1/2 inch diced

Green Chillies: 4 slit

Turmeric Powder: 1/4 tsp

Salt: as required

Water: 2 cups

Put all these ingredients into a pressure cooker and cook for 5 whistles on high flame. Adjust salt and water if needed.

To temper:

Ghee: 1 tbsp (or use oil instead)

Mustard: 1/2 tsp

Shallots: 2 sliced

Curry leaves: 2 sprigs

Heat oil in a kadai and splutter mustard, small onions and curry leaves.

Pour over the cooked curry.

Serve warm with Chapatis.
