Masoor Dal Bharta / Mashed Red Lentils
Today I will share a very simple and easy recipe that is Masoor Dal Bharta / Mashed Red Lentils. For this, you need only 5 ingredients other than red lentils, but make it super tasty. If you need, you can make it a liquid dal by adding the required quantity of water, which can go well with steamed rice.
The types of equipment required for this recipe are
Mixing bowl/ plate
Big vessel
1 sq feet muslin clothes
Kadai/Fry pan
Spatula
The ingredients required for this recipe are
Red lentils/ Masoor dal: Here we have to take Masoor dal without skin.
Red chili: You can take whole dry Guntur red chili, which should be a little hot.
Cooking oil: Here cooking oil is mustard oil; no other oil will give that much flavor as mustard oil.
Other than dal and red chili and oil we need fresh onion, garlic, and salt
Preparation / How to make Masoor Dal Bharta / Mashed Red Lentils
Take one cup of Masoor dal in a bowl and wash it thoroughly
Now take a muslin cloth and strain the water twice or thrice
After washing it thoroughly, put the dal in the clothe and tie it properly
Now take sufficient water in a vessel and put the tied clothe with dal in the vessel
Put the vessel in the gas oven and cover the lid, and allow it to cook for 7-8 minutes on medium flame
Turn off the gas flame after 8 minutes, and allow it to cook further, without heat for 5 minutes.
Open the lid after 5 minutes and untie the muslin clothe and take out the cooked dal
Heat mustard oil in a kadai, add the red chilies, and fry until they become dark brown in color
After frying the chilies, fry the garlic cloves until they become light brown in color
Same way fry the sliced onion
Now take a big plate and put all the items there
Add mustard oil and salt over the fried red chili
With the help of your finger, break the red chilies into small pieces as they become crispy after frying
Now mix well all the items. e.g. dal, garlic, onions, and the whole red chili
Divide them into equal parts and make them big apple size balls, and serve with hot piping rice
