Dalitoy is a konkani traditional basic recipe. Our community festivals and functions are incomplete without Dalitoy.
Standard Dalitoy will be made using Toor Dal. But sometimes I replace Toor Dal with Moong Dal. That also tastes good and healthier.
Ingredients:
Toor Dal/Moong Dal - 1 cup
Tomato (chopped) - 1
Ginger (finely chopped) - 1 inch
Green Chillies (slit) - 3
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
Grated Coconut - 1 tbsp
Coriander Leaves (chopped) - Few
Salt
For Seasoning:
Ghee - 2 tsp
Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Red Chilli (broken) - 1
Curry Leaves - Few
Hing/Asafoetida - pinch
Method:
Cook Toor Dal/Moong Dal in a pressure cooker, adding Tomatos, Ginger, Green Chillies and enough water, for 2 to 3 whistles.
Once done, transfer into a vessel and heat on flame.
Adjust the water consistency, accordingly.
Add Turmeric Powder, Salt. Mix well and let it boil for few seconds.
Add Grated Coconut, Coriander Leaves and mix it well.
After few seconds, turn off the flame.
For seasoning, heat Ghee and add Mustard Seeds, let it splutter.
Then add Hing, Curry Leaves, Red Chillies.
Pour this seasoning into cooked Dal.
(Adjust the salt and green chillies, according to taste)
