Cranberry Dal is a healthy dish in South Indian style. Cranberries are available during November and December months. You can buy at that time and store in your freezer. Just like Mango dal, Cranberry dal is also very delicious.
Ingredients
1 cup toor dal
2 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
For tempering
2 tbsp or more ghee or oil
6 big or more garlic cloves
1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
3 or more green chilies
5 or more red chilies
a pinch of asafoetida
a few curry leaves
Preparation
Rinse toor dal and soak in water for 30 minutes. Soaking reduces the cooking time. Wash the cranberries.
Cook the soaked dal along with cranberries in pressure cooker. You may follow the instructions for your own pressure cooker. Pressure cookers are different from each other. You may also cook on stove top. I cooked 10 minutes on high flame in my pressure cooker and switched off the flame. I gave 10 minutes cooling time and then opened the pressure cooker. Now it is ready for tempering.
