sabut masoor dal recipe step by step

Sabut Masoor Dal Recipe (Akha Masoor Daal) – Simple and easy protein rich daal recipe of Indian brown lentil, cooked in onion tomato gravy with basic Indian spices.

We Indians cannot live without our lentils 🙂 Especially the vegetarians. Lentils or Daals form the major part of staple food across India. You will find these tiny protein rich legumes cooked along with basic Indian spices. Dal recipes are cooked daily and served with steamed rice, roti and sabji. That is the ideal balance meal in most of Indian families.

Like many, I too cook these daals daily in my kitchen. Most often the gujarati toor daal and also south indian sambar both my favorites. Along with these, I also cook punjabi daal tadka, lasooni daal and daal palak. The most common lentil dal in all these recipes I just mention are toor daal and chana daal. You will find these two in most of the daal recipes in Indian household. Apart from these, other dal such as moong, masoor and urad are also cooked.

Today I am sharing yet another simple and easy to cook daal recipe – sabut masoor dal recipe. This type of daal are famous in dhabas and road side eating joints. I remember driving near Pune where we had this delicious dhaba style masoor daal. We ordered “akha masoor dal” as they say in marathi along with some jowar bhakhri. And trust me that was yummy. The masoor daal cooked in dhaba is usually a little spicy. The jowar bhakhri that they serve along with it balance the taste. The combination is simply amazing.
