How to Prepare Protein-Rich Veggie and Lentil Dalcha Curry [Vegan]
- Take a clay pot and fill with 2 cups water. Heat it on low flame. Once water starts boiling, add split pigeon peas and split chickpeas. Keep a ladle in pot and partially cover the pot with a lid (it prevents the overflow of water). Let it cook for 15-20 minutes on low-medium flame.
- Meanwhile, take another clay pot and heat on low flame. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and black cumin seeds. Add chopped onions and asofoetida. Cook for a while. Add ginger-garlic paste and stir well. Add chopped vegetables and mix everything well.
- Add turmeric powder, chili powder, garam masala, and a little salt. Add 2 cups water and cook it covered for 10 minutes on low-medium flame. Now, add tamarind water and cook for another 5 minutes. Check for the peas cooking in the other pot. Mash them with the ladle and add to the vegetable curry.
- Stir everything well and add salt to taste. Check for the spice and correct at this stage. Cook it covered for another 5-8 minutes. Add more water if needed, as the curry becomes thick after some time. Switch off the flame.
- For tempering, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pot. Temper mustard seeds, dry chilis, curry leaves, fenugreek seeds, and cumin seeds. Add this tempering to the vegetable dal. Serve hot.
