Wheat dumplings in Daal

This is favorite dish of mine and sis's, popularly known as 'Varan fala'. Very simple to make and yummy yummy to taste. And now roomies also love it... Its

Ingredients: 1 cup Toor daal, tamarind (2-3 inch pieces), jaggary, 3 cup wheat flour, sambar powder, salt, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, red chilli powder, 2 big spoons of oil

Recipe: Pressure cook toor daal. Soak tamarind in bowl of water. Make wheat flour dough as you make for roties.

After the daal is cooked and cooker is cooled, put turmeric powder, salt in it. And mix it properly. Heat oil in a big pan, put mustard in it. Once it starts to crackle add pinch of asafotida. Squeeze the tamrind and add the tamarind water to the heated oil. Add red chilly powder, sambar powder (actually you should put Kala masala; the popular ingredient in my cooking and not available here). Put the softened daal and a glass of water. You can add more if you like it. Bring this dall to boil. If you like you can add tomatoes, onions to the daal while pressure cooking it.
While the daal is boiling, make a little thick roti of the dough. Cut it small squares of it using knife. If you want to be creative, you can actually make different shapes out of the dough like starts, small balls, spirals as we used to do it in childhood :-). They taste gooooood. Once daal comes to boil, add jaggary. The right amount of jaggary is; its size should as big as the remainants of tamarind after you squeeze it. Add the wheat dumplings in the daal. Put gas on sim and let dough cook. It will take around 10-15 minutes to cook.
This is a main course and you don't need to make roti or rice with it. Serve with tons of ghee. Try it, you can't have it just once !!!
