Plain Toor dal(ಖಾರ್ ಬ್ಯಾಳಿ)

Tried and tasted by Nivedita
Hi All,
One more a very simple, tasty and quick recipe from North Karnataka.This is one of common dal which is prepared for the dinner. The reason is, it is easy to cook, tasty to eat and goes well with jowar rotti and rice. When you go through the recipe you will agree with me!
Few ingredients needed for making this dal is,
Toor dal - 1 cup
Onion - 1 big, cut into cubes
Curry leaves - few
Salt to taste
Haldi -1 tsp
Red chilly powder - 2 tsp
Oil - 1 tsp
Fresh coriander - 2 tbsp(it is not in my photo, as I was out of coriander)
Water to make dal
Keep 3 cups of water to boil. Till it starts boiling, Wash toor dal and keep it aside. Cut onions and keep other ingredients ready.
Add toor dal to boiling water. Allow it to cook for few minutes. Remove the white layer that comes after few minutes boiling. Now add all the ingredients except fresh coriander. Cook the dal without cover till it is just cooked. Do not allow dal to be very soft. If you cover it with a lid all water will spill out.
Garnish with fresh coriander. 
Plain Toor dal(ಖಾರ್ ಬ್ಯಾಳಿ i.e khar byali means spicy dal) is ready to eat either with jowar
rotti and onion or with hot rice and paapad and pickle. Choice is yours.
Don't you think it is the easiest dal for a tired person for his/her dinner??
