    Sabut masoor ki dal is Punjabi style tadka dal. Sabut masoor or whole masoor dal cooked in a pressure cooker till it acquires a creamy consistency and then tempered with Punjabi tadka and topped with some homemade white butter..... Mmmm! Just what makes it one of the soul-satisfying dish to this dal loving Punjabi.

    Wheather it is Dhal is south Indian cuisine or dal in north Indian cuisine, whatever it is called has a prominent spot in Indian meals. Dal is an important dish in regional Indian Cuisine. In fact hardly any comfort meal is complete with out a Dal preperation.

    Dal is still one of staple dinner dish in most of the punjabi homes, and that how healthy or unhealthy that is cooked is another debate altogether :). But if you think that Punjabi's make only Dal makhani or there are quite a few dal recipes which are much lighter in terms of calories and fats like this Mah Chana Dal ( langar wali dal) which is creamy but not too much fat or This Dhuli Moong if you prefer you Dal towards more liquidy texture or this Arhar Dal (also known as Peeli Dal ).

    Sabut Masoor dal is also known as Kali Masoor and tastes great with UP style heeng, ginger and tomato tadka. But in this recipe of Sabut masoor dal I used punjabi style Tomatoes, green chilli, ginger and garam masala tadka. If you like to add a little dab of butter that adds a lot of taste to the Dal. Adding ghee or butter makes a great difference in terms of nutrition.

     

     

    HOW DOES ADDING GHEE OR BUTTER AFFECTS DAL PREPERATION

    In most of the Punjabi homes adding ghee while serving dal is a common practice, Actually, this is how a Punjabi mother's show their love towards the kids :D. Some people ridicule the practice from the health point of view and totally shun the ghee or butter from Dal.

    It may increase the calories in the dal but it definitely helps to reduce the GI of whole dish and this can especially be beneficial for diabetics.

    Low GI meals are good for diabetics as these help in releasing sustained glucose over longer period of time and do not create sudden surge and fall of blood glucose levels. However overdoing it is something that should be avoided, in my opinion, half a teaspoon of ghee in Dal is always a good idea 🙂

     

    If you love dal here are few Dal recipes which you may want to try , Gujrati Dal, Dal Fry ,  Punjabi dhuli moong dal , Langar wali dal , Arhar ki Dal, Dal Makhani (healthy version)
