Heat a pan with oil and season it with fennel,cloves and cinnamon.Saute the green chillies,garlic and curry leaves then onion.Once the onion becomes transparent add the tomato and cook till gets soft.
Now add the cooked dhal ,potato,salt,add a cup of water and bring it to a boil.Add in the ground coconut paste and cook it till the raw smell goes away.Finally add the lemon juice.Garnish it with coriander leaves.
Enjoy it with idly or idiyappam.
- Adding tomato is optional,original recipe doesn't have,only lemon juice for sourness.
- The original color will be pale yellow but I added a pinch of turmeric powder in the dhal.
- It becomes thick once its cool down so adjust the water to the desired consistency.
