I have tried the standard techniques like soaking the dal for some time, etc. but nothing works. Could you tell me whether it's some mistake I am unwittingly making, or could it be the water in this new locality?Ritwik Banerjeehttp://arachnid.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29011644.post-46862646107716885142007-04-20T22:31:00.000-04:002007-04-20T22:31:00.000-04:00Melting Wok - this is delicious. the light roastin...Melting Wok - this is delicious. the light roasting makes the dal quite aromatic.

Let's see how it goes.<BR/><BR/>Bee- thanks, would love to get the kerala recipe too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Maneka.<BR/><BR/>Creative Cook - I dry roast the dal too, sometimes. Will post the cutlets recipe soon. Good luck with the seedlings. I'll look forward to your entry.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Viji.<BR/><BR/>Sunita - You make it the same way too... I love the taste of this dal.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Sailaja. Will post the salmon cutlets soon. I also want to try your version of the dal. Will let you know how it turns out.<BR/><BR/>Sandeepa - my mom makes the plainer version, but I like it with the spices. Stay tuned for the salmon cutlets.<BR/><BR/>Shn - It's so interesting to read the different versions of this dal in the comments - with cumin pwd, coriander pwd, without cumin and without coriander pwd and without both. I have to try all these versions now :)<BR/><BR/>Surya - thanks, will post the cutlet recipe soon.<BR/><BR/>Thanks SC, I'm going one step at a time. Hopefully will be able to get the changes done soon.<BR/><BR/>Trupti - thanks. The roasted moong dal or any dal is usually the second course at home after the sheddo (boiled veggies) or Shaag (saag). A curry would be the third course. Here, we do short cuts :)<BR/><BR/>Sharmi - thanks. It does have a wonderful aroma of the dal along with the spices. :)<BR/><BR/>Just for Fun - Thanks and welcome to ahaar.<BR/><BR/>Linda - Thanks. It does taste good after roasting the dal. Do let me know how it turns out.Mandirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626963378027285069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29011644.post-8339972060292699942007-03-20T20:42:00.000-04:002007-03-20T20:42:00.000-04:00Hi Mandira, oh, I can almost smell that dal roasti...Hi Mandira, oh, I can almost smell that dal roasting from here... just delicious!
