how to make akkha masoor

 

    1. Heat 3 tbsp oil in a deep non-stick pan.
    2. Add 1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera). Cumin seeds have a distinct earthy and warm flavor that adds depth and complexity to the dish.
    3. Add 1 black cardamom. Black cardamom possesses a unique, smoky, and slightly sweet aroma that adds depth and richness to the dish. It complements the earthy flavors of the lentils perfectly.
    4. Add 1 cinnamon stick. By adding a cinnamon stick to your akkha masoor, you can elevate the dish to a whole new level of flavor and aroma.
    5. Add 1 star anise. It adds a unique flavor profile to the dish, contributing a warm, slightly licorice-like taste
    6. Add 2 cups finely chopped onions. Onions form the foundation of the masala (spice blend) in Akha Masoor. As they caramelize, they release natural sugars, adding a rich, sweet depth to the overall flavor profile.  
    7. Sauté on a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes until light golden brown in colour.
    8. Add pinch of baking soda. Baking soda helps to soften the lentils and reduces their cooking time, ensuring that they become tender and easily digestible.
    9. Add ½ tsp finely chopped green chillies. Finely chopped green chillies add a punch of heat and flavor to the Akkha Masoor recipe.
    10. Add 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste. Ginger and garlic are known for their robust and complex flavors. The paste adds a warm, pungent, and slightly sweet note to the dish, elevating its overall taste.
    11. Mix well.
    12. Add ½ cup finely chopped tomatoes. Tomatoes add a natural sweetness that balances the spiciness of the Kolhapuri flavors.
    13. Cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
    14. Add ½ tsp turmeric powder. Turmeric's distinct flavor profile enhances the overall taste of the dish
    15. Add ½ tbsp Kashmiri chilli powder. Kashmiri chili powder is a key ingredient in many Indian dishes, including akkha masoor. While it adds a touch of heat, its primary role is to provide a vibrant red color and a rich, smoky flavor without overwhelming the dish with excessive spiciness.
    16. Add 1 tbsp coriander cumin seeds powder. Coriander and cumin seeds powder create a harmonious blend of flavors and aromas that make Akha Masoor a truly satisfying and comforting meal.
    17. Add ½ tsp garam masala.
    18. Add ½ tbsp onion garlic masala. Onion garlic masala is a blend of spices that adds flavor and depth to the akkha masoor recipe.
    19. Add ½ cup hot water. 
    20. Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, until the oil is released. 
    21. Add the cooked masoor dal.
    22. Add salt to taste.
    23. Add 1 cup hot water.
    24. Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 5 to 8 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
how to make the tempering

 

    1. Meanwhile, in a small pan, heat 1 tbsp oil.
    2. Add a pinch of asafoetida.
    3. Add 1 tbsp crushed garlic. Crushed garlic in akkha masoor recipe adds a pungent and savory flavor to the dish. It enhances the overall taste and aroma of the lentil curry.
    4. Add 2 whole dry kashmiri red chillies. Kashmiri chillies are known for their deep red color, which adds a beautiful hue to the Akha Masoor. This enhances the visual appeal of the dish.
    5. Add ¼ cup finely chopped onions.
    6. Sauté on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes. 
    7. Switch off the flame, add a pinch of Kashmiri chilli powder.
    8. Mix well.
    9. Pour the tempering over the dal.
    10. Mix well.
    11. Add 1 tbsp lemon juice. Lemon juice in akkha masoor recipe enhances the flavor profile by adding a bright, tangy note that cuts through the richness of the lentils and spices.

A delicious low calorie dal! As it is masoor tastes brilliant to which shallots enhance the taste. I added the shallots to the cooker after two whistles and allowed the shallots to cook only for one whistle, to enjoy whole shallots.
