1/2 tbsp Cumin seeds
1/2 tsp Ghee
Coriander leaves for garnishing


Wash both the dals. Add the tomato and water and cook it at micro high for 15 minutes in a closed microwave safe bowl. Open and stir every 3 minutes so that it is cooked evenly and does not spill out.

Mix well and cook on micro high for two minutes.

Heat the ghee in a seperate microwave safe bowl and add the cumin seeds. Micro high for 30 seconds. Add this to the dal.

Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.

A simple and tasty dal is ready. It can be served with chapatis, dosas as well as rice.

Thank you for your amazing recipes. I like cooking in a microwave. Infact, at one of my homes, in Kolkatta, all I have is a microwave. I might have bought a lot of books on microwave cooking, but nothing beats your site. The simplicity of each recipe, makes this one unique.

Thank you.
