How to make the recipe

  1. Pressure cook dal till smooth. I usually use 1 cup of water for ½ cup of dal and pressure cook for 2 whistles on a medium flame. When the pressure releases mash it well.
  2. Soak tamarind in 1 cup water.
  3. Heat ghee in a utensil. Add red chili, mustard, cumin and methi, when they begin to crackle add garlic, curry leaves, hing.
  4. Add onions and sauté for a min. I like them to be crunchy. If you want them to be soft, fry till they are half done.
  5. Add tomatoes, green chilies sprinkle salt and turmeric, fry till the tomatoes turn fully mushy. If you do not want to use tomatoes, just proceed to next step
  6. Add red chili powder, mix well and fry for a min. Squeeze the tamarind and filter the water to the utensil.
  7. Pour 1 cup plain water, bring it to a boil.
  8. When the water comes to a boil, add mashed dal or filter the dal through a colander like me to remove coarse granules. Adjust the salt.
  9. Bring it to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Add coriander leaves.
  10. Serve pappu charu with rice, ghee and papad.
