by Tarla Dalal

This recipe proves the fact that dal can be super tasty without being spicy. A mixture of three dals is perked up with tomatoes, onions and other ingredients, which give it a fabulous flavour.

Since spicy meals trigger and aggravate Acidity , this Mixed Dal uses very little green chillies for spice.

However, the chillies are not missed at all, because ingredients like ginger, coriander and cumin seeds impart more than enough flavour to delight the palate!

making mixed dal

Heat 1 tsp oil in a deep non-stick pan. Use Coconut oil instead of processed seed oils like soyabean oil, canola, sunflower oil, corn oil and other omega-6 rich oils should be used in very low amounts.
Add 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera).
Saute for a few seconds.
Add 1/4 cup chopped onions. Onions are often sauteed at the beginning of cooking the dal to create a base for the tarka or chaunk. This caramelized onion base adds a rich, savory depth of flavor to the entire dish.
Add 1/4 tsp finely chopped green chillies. Green chillies add a touch of heat and spice to the dal, which cuts through the richness of the lentils and other ingredients.

Add 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes. matoes add a touch of acidity that cuts through the richness of the lentils and other ingredients, creating a more balanced and interesting flavor profile.
Mix well.
Cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
