Toor dal kofta recipe | Side dish for rice
Most blog posts are on rangoli designs, festivals and festival related recipes. Occasionally, I post recipes needed for our day to day menu.
Of course, some viewers on social media have also asked.
This dish is called paruppu urundai kuzhambu.
I have translated (!) it in English to toor dal kofta for easy understanding. A very tasty and healthy side dish for rice. I think you may love it. Have you tried it yet.
Ingredients are - one measure toor dhal
Two green chillies
Dhania or coriander one table spoon
Cumin or jeera one tea spoon
Grind all ingredients in a mixer
Add salt required for the dough only . Then knead well to get dough
One part grind with coconut in a mixer
Keep the paste ground with coconut aside
Roll the other part into spherical shapes
Apply oil on a idli plate
Keep it in a pressure cooker with the dal kofta spheres and cook for 10 minutes
Mean while soak an amla sized tamarind in water
To a shallow pan add oil , when the oil is hot , add mustard, urad dhal , asafoetida, cumin and curry leaves
Add the tamarind extract

Dilute the batter ground with coconut and add to the boiling ingredients
