Dalitoy Recipe With step by step photos :

• Take a cup of Tuvar dal in a vessel . Rinse well .

• Add 3-4 nos Green Chilli , little salt ,tsp of oil and 2.5 cup of water .

• Pressure cook dal for 3-4 whistles till its cooked soft . Mash it creamy .

• Transferred the cooked dal to a vessel in which you would be making Dalitoye . Add salt and water as required . Adjust to the consistency , you prefer . Personally , I don’t like it too thick or watery like rasam .

• Simmer and boil Dalitoye well . Add curry leaves and chopped coriander leaves .

• When the dalitoye has boiled well , switch off . Add few drops of lime juice . Note that lime juice is optional .

• Lastly , prepare a tempering . Heat Ghee . Splutter Mustard seeds , add 1-2 Red chillies ( broken ) and a big pinch of Hing . Don’t skip hing in any case ,it’s one of hero ingredient of the dish . Pour the tempering over Dalitoye .

• Dalitoye is ready to serve . Enjoy it with some hot rice and ghee drizzled on top .

Points to note while making Dalitoy

• Take care and cook dal really creamy . Under cooked dal for a dalitoy is a let down .
• If you want to do vegan , instead of Ghee , you can use Coconut Oil . Tastes equally good and traditional .
• As a variation , you can add little grated ginger , while boiling dalitoy.
