How to Make Godi Dal
- Rinse 1 cup of toor dal thoroughly under cold water.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the dal with 3 cups of water over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the dal is tender.
- Add the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the grated jaggery and tamarind water.
- Add the garam masala and salt; adjust seasoning to taste.
- While the dal simmers, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a small pan over medium heat.
- Add the cumin seeds, curry leaves, and asafoetida. Fry until the cumin seeds begin to splutter (about 30 seconds).
- Pour the fragrant cumin-seed mixture into the simmering dal.
- Gently stir to combine, cover, and cook for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro.
- Serve hot with steamed rice or roti.
