Methi Dal
Serves 3 (when eaten with rice)
Ingredients:
1 Cup toor dal
1 1/2 cups water (u can vary it according to us measurements) the dal needs to be thick.... it cant be watery as it ruins the taste completely

4 cloves garlic crushed
1 pinch hing
Coriander leaves (Garnish)
Method:
1. Wash and soak toor dal for 20-30 mins.
2. Wash and pinch the methi leaves (wash thoroughly... or else u will end up having mitti dal :-) )

4. Pressure cook on medium flame till 5-6 whistles
5. Mash the dal.
6. Add 2-3 tsps of oil in a Kadai, add Mustard and jeera seeds, once they start popping, add hing, garlic cloves, dry red chillis and curry leaves.
