cooking dal
Hi,
I will be staying in a hotel for 15 days, i wanna cook dal for sambar and i dont have a cooker. Cooking dal by microwave is nt that effective it is taking so much time and more over they arent getting soft and easy to smash. Any alternative methods for cooking dal????

Soaking the dhall before in hand will definitely help the dhall to cook faster

Anitha,
You can cook dhal at home itself and put it in the freezer as soon as you check in the hotel; or, recently, we were on a long trip for a week. What I did was fried the dhal in an empty vanali till it is hot at home itself. The previous night itself, soak it in water and then, the next day, cooked in microwave though the water used to overflow. I also carried blender with me and managed to grind. Though it was not very soft, but it was much much better for my kid to eat as dhal rice!!
Good luck..

Hi,
I don't know what do you mean by masala kadalai. I am giving a receipe for Nei kadalai
Soak Kadalai paaruppu for about 2 hours, and then sponge out all water. Heat kadai with lots of oil, and plunge kadalai when oil is hot, fry them until you hear the parrupu's make noise while you mix and take them out, sponge out excess oil. Heat small amount of oil apart, fry some "thatina" garlic and karuvepillai, mix it with the fried parrupu with some chilli powder and nei parupu ready

Hi Anitha,
Y don't U try yellow moong dhal?...It's gets cooked quiet fast if u can soak it in warm water for a few hrs...(4-5 hrs)

Hi Anitha,
The simple way to make puli kolambu is
Heat oil in a pan, season it with mustard, urad dhal , methi seeds , hing and curry leaves. then saute chopped 1 med size onion, 1 or 2 garlic, 1 med size tomato chopped, once they get cooked well, add whatever vegetables u have, u can use brinjals, drumsticks or even dried vathals ( so dont have to cut them and easy to use)like brinjal vathal or mango vathal. then add 2 to 3 tsp sambhar powder according to ur taste add little water and let it boil, then add tamarind juice or paste and salt and little more water and let it boil well for 20 to 30 min so it gets thickened and add more oil so it tastes good.
If u have a rice cooker it will be easy to make rava uppuma too in hotel, when we had gone for a trip i took rava uppuma and we cooked it in rice cooker. if u r interested let me know.
