Daanger Patchadi

I am not a daanger patchadi fan. But here is a simple recipe. I am sure some others will also share one by and by.

Dry roast a cup of urad dal for a few minutes and set aside to cool. Blend two cups of fresh yoghurt with one ripe tomato, an inch long piece of cucumber and 6 fresh curry leaves and one green chili. One tsp Tabasco sauce or chili sauce.

Dry grind the urad dal ( I use my magic bullet) and whisk it into the yoghurt mix. Add salt to taste and splutter some mustard and cumin seeds and a 1/8 tsp hing in some canola/ sesame blend and add on top. Add some fresh grated coconut as a garnish.

Purists will tell you this is not daanger patchadi. But try it and decide for yourself.
