Ingredients for - Dal Chakolya
How to cook deliciously - Dal Chakolya
1. Stage
Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in cumin seeds and coconut garlic paste, then add tomato. Mix in turmeric and chili powder until well combined.
2. Stage
Add pigeon peas and water. Mix well and season with salt. Cook over low heat until a slightly thickened gravy forms over the dal, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Stage
Meanwhile, mix 1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon flour with a pinch of salt. Mix in a little water at a time, just enough so it holds together. Knead until smooth and then shape into balls. Flatten balls with a rolling pin, then cut them vertically and horizontally into small squares or diamond shapes; these are your chakolya.
4. Stage
Add chakolya to the dal in a single layer and drizzle with a little oil. Cover and simmer for 5 to 8 more minutes.
