Mixed Dhal with Coconut Milk

Today I made some paratha and to go with it I made a mixed dhal subji. This is similar to Dal Makhani but with a slight variation. I used coconut milk instead of cream or milk. The dhal was rich in flavor and had a slight sweet taste because of the coconut milk. I used sprouted moth beans, black uradh dhal and green moong dhal but you can susbtitute with any other beans.I have given approximate measurement of the spices and powder. Please adjust according to the quantity and your taste.

- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1.5 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 2 tbsp coconut milk
- 1 tsp oil

Method

1. Pressure cook the dhals untilt he dhals gets cooked.
2. Heat oil in the frying pan. Add panch poran once the oil is hot.
3. Once it splutters add onion,garlic and the green chillie. Fry until onions becomes soft and translucent.
