To start making Hyderabadi kati dal recipe, first clean the dal under running water.
in a pressure cooker, add washed dal, garlic, ginger, turmeric, red chilli powder, green chilli, tomato salt and 2 cups of water. Cover the pressure cooker and cook until you hear a few whistles. After a few whistles, reduce the heat to low, cook for about 3 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Let the pressure in the pot release naturally. After the pressure is released, turn on the cooker.
Once the dal is done, stir the dal well to make it smooth. Add tamarind water to the dal and boil the kati dal. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and bring the dal to a boil.
Next we have to prepare the seasoning.
in a small Tadkapan Heat oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and let it crackle. Once the garlic is added, sauté until it starts to turn golden brown. Add curry leaves and red chillies and fry for a few more seconds.
Pour the tadpoles over the dal and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Once done, switch off the heat and the Hyderabadi Khadi Dal recipe is ready. Check the salt and adjust to your taste. Pour the dal into a bowl, garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
Enjoy with Hyderabadi Khatti Dal steamed rice, Kasirikai Barbecue (eggplant grilled) and papad.
