I was thinking of posting a series of simple meals. It would be the everyday simple meal menu mainly consisting of rice dal and some sabzi. So here's the first one :

Rice, Plain Dal and bhindi sabzi :



For the Dal :
Pressure cook 1 cup toor dal with some haldi in it. Add salt and smash the dal. In a skillet heat a little oil and add mustard, jeera, hing, curry leaves, chopped green chillies, chopped garlic. Fry well and add the smashed dal. Add corainder leaves and cook for few mins. ( U could add water if u like a thinner consistency of dal)


For the Bhendi Sabzi :
Wash and dry the okra. Chop it to small pieces. In a skillet heat 5  to 6 tbspn of oil. To this add mustard, udad dal, curry leaves, hing and fry well. Add 1  finely chopped large onion and add the okra. Fry well till the okra is no longer sticky /slimmy.  Add salt to taste , chilli powder, 1 tspn of daniya powder, 1 tbspn of roasted and ground peanuts and a about a tspn of roasted and ground sesame seeds(til). mix well and add corriander for garnish.
