Healthy fast food ! ( dal with vege)


 This is the seasoning roasted with coconut, below the final outcome !

I , rather my son, calls it fast food, as it can be cooked real fast, if you use the pressure cooker. As normally, we cook rice, & dal in a cooker, so for this, dal- it can me moong dal/ chana dal/ masoor dal/ arhar/tuvar dal you can use 1 small cup of any dal.
Ingredients  & method
Dal 1 small cup or more as needed        vege- pumpkin,, bottle gourd ( ghia), cabbage/ white pumpkin can be used. You may use ¼ kg of the vegetable or more as per your need. Cook both dal & vege together along with ½ tsp turmeric pdr. For 3 whistles in the cooker.  For tadka/ seasoning- 1 tsp oil, 1 tsp udal dal, 1 tsp cumin/jeera, once these turn golden, , some curry leaves , add 2 tbsp grated coconut / dry coconut pdr, fry well till a nice aroma comes, add 1-2 tsp sambar pdr, mix well, add 2 tsp atta/ wheat flr, roast a minute, add this to the cooked dal mixture, add salt to taste, let it boil well. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Ps- this goes well with rice, roti.
