hyderabadi khatti dal is a popular and tangy lentil recipe from hyderabadi cuisine made with toor daal or arhar daal.
'khatti' is a hindi word which translates to 'sour' in english, so 'khatti dal' is basically a tangy or sour dal recipe. this dal can also be prepared using 'masoor dal' and the recipe remains the same.
hyderabadi khatti dal is cooked in two steps - first the daal is fully cooked to desired consistency with tomatoes and then adding tamarind and bringing to boil. the dal is finally done with giving it an aromatic tempering or tadka.
'dal' is a very common dish prepared across all indian households with different types of lentils and each region having their own style of making it. dals are usually cooked and tempered and enjoyed along with some dry sabzi.
hyderabadi khatti dal goes well with rotis, chapatis, plain rice or zeera rice.
also, have a look at my other dal recipes especially panchmel dal, green moong dal and lucknowi dal.
For cooking the dal
For tadka or tempering
1. Wash the toor dal and add it to the pressure cooker along with chopped tomatoes, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, green chillies, salt and two cups of water.
2. Pressure cook till dal is done, ie., 1 whistle on high and 2-3 whistles on low flame.
3. Switch off the flame and let the pressure release by itself. Open the lid and mash the dal well to a smooth consistency, you can use hand blender as well.
4. Now add tamarind water and around 1 cup of plain water and cook for 10 minutes on low flame or till the raw smell of tamarind disappears. You can adjust the consistency of the dal as per your preference by adding a little less or more water.
5. For tempering, heat oil in a pan and sizzle the cumin and mustard seeds. Add garlic cloves and dried red chillies and sizzle for some time.
6. Switch off the flame and add curry leaves.
7. Pour this tempering over the cooked dal. Close the lid for few minutes, so that the aroma gets infused in the dal.
8. Your hyderabadi khatti dal is ready to be served. Garnish with coriander leaves and enjoy with roti or rice and a dry sabzi.
