😋#tonightsdinner - Rice, Red radish & potato dal, with mango thokku.😋

Next time, don’t think twice before using red radishes in place of white radishes in your 🍅 Dal/sambar, cause it’s a total winner.💯 I used them along with potatoes for the first time tonight and the dal tasted SO delicious!

Here’s a quick recipe - save it & try it, if you haven’t already.🥰

Recipe:
⭐️Pressure cook toor dal, and the veggies - red radish & potatoes, separately. Mash dal later & keep side.
⭐️Heat oil in a cooking pot. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, dried & split red Chilies, a pinch of hing, and curry leaves.
⭐️Add minced ginger, minced garlic, chopped onions, sauté until onions translucent. Add tomatoes, sauté until soft & mushy.
⭐️Add salt to taste, turmeric powder and red chili powder, sauté for 30 seconds then add tamarind pulp to taste, mix.
⭐️Transfer cooked dal plus the veggies into the cooking pot &
pour water to adjust consistency. Allow the dal to come to a boil.
⭐️Garnish with cilantro. Serve red radish & potato dal with white rice and pickles/ghee. Enjoy!😋
