Dal and Curry - Methi dal, Cauliflower peas aloo curry with Chapati

Yeah its a midday of the week. Having a kid is bit of work and wonder what will I make for dinner... Suddenly struck to make it simple and yummy. Everyday except weekends, my husband does take only chapatis in the night. So only one dish doesn't make tummy full. Thats why I planned to do Dal and Curry combination, which will be easy to take it for chapatis.

Methi dal is one of my favourite dish and its healthy too. Ofcourse, the curry will be delicious cauliflower , peas & aloo !!! Yummy isn't? It just took 1/2 hour to cook and finish off the both. Makes my job easier and lots of time to spend with my daughter.

3/4 cup- Methi
1/2 cup - Toor dal
Tomatoes- 1
Chillipowder - 1 spn
Long red chillies - 2-3
Mustard & Jeera - 1 spn
Garlic - 2-3

Method:

Wash methi nicely in water so all the mud in the methi just goes off away.

1) Put methi leaves & toor dal in vessel in cooker for about 3-4 whistles.
2) Once it is done, put back in the kadai and let it boil with salt, chillipowder & tomatoes.
