Sameera Reddy Instagram – This healthy Dahi Misal is absolutely lip smacking & crazy easy🌟It’s a house favourite made by @manjrivarde and has such an amazing mix of Protien and crunchies! Usal Pav or Dahi Misal can made in many ways ! This is our version. we’ve also added some amazing Goa kokum ! . 🌟 The pulses to be soaked overnight – 1 Katori White matar (peas) 1/2 Katori Chowli 1/2 Katori Moong 1/2 Katori Brown Channa 1/2 Katori Matki . 🌟 Important when you pressure cooker the soaked pulses -For them to be fully cooked, water should not be more than one cm above the beans in the cooker. No salt should be added at the point . Pressure cook the beans for 8 whistles or as you deem fit. 🌟 For the Tadka in hot oil- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds 1 tablespoon methi seeds 1 tablespoon jeera seeds 10 peppercorns 5-6 pieces cloves 2 large black cardamom 3 star anise 3 one inch pieces cinnamon 2 tablespoons sesame seeds 1 tablespoon khuskhus seeds 15 curry leaves 1 teaspoon hing 🌟to be added after the cooked beans – 2 tsp jeera powder 2 tsp coriander powder A pinch of haldi 1 cup grated coconut 10 pieces Kokum 🌟to be served with the Misal/Usal – Hot mix /Namkeen Chakli Pav Boiled potatoes Chopped onions Tamarind date sweet chutney -( Recipe in my pani puri igtv) Spicy green chutney Red chilli powder Beaten curd 🌟 After the tadka, Be quick to add the cooked beans so the hing should not burn. To this now you add salt, jeera powder, coriander powder, a tiny bit of haldi, a cup full of grated coconut and I’ve used pink Goa kokum. 🌟 Leave all this to boil and simmer for a full 10-15 minutes. It brings together all the goodness of the spices and beans. 🌟 On the table you need a large bowl of two chopped onions, two boiled and finely diced potato, a bowl of beaten curd, some sweet tamarind chutney, some spicy chilli-coriander chutney(which we didn’t have!) and any Indian namkeen. Like hot mix, chaklli, muruggu, sev…… 🌟 Fill the bowl halfway with this flavourful Usal, add some potatoes, onions, chutneys, dahi and load on the crunchy namkeens. This is Dahi Misal. 🌟 For Pav Misal, don’t add the crunchies or dahi. Have it steaming hot and soak your pav into it. enjoy
