One of my friends hubby does not like peanuts, but she wanted to make this dal with it, so she ground the soaked peanuts along with the lentils, fried in oil and then added methi, a little different.

Rama, Thanks I will check out the comment.

Chetna, You can use peanuts with skin on. When you asked this question, i checked my picture and it looks like skins are peeled, donno why. I had not peeled the skin. Let me know once you try this.

Is it OK to use raw peanuts with skin-on ?

I generally, add these to some of my sabzis and vegetable upmas, but without peeling the skin.

This daal looks really yummy and will definitely try this tonight. Hubby will definitely love this – peanuts in a daal!!!

Actually, it was meant for peanut methi dal. My mistake..

Tried this recipe out last night and it was excellent! I had never soaked peanuts before cooking with them — I was suprised to see how big they got and how much they tasted like “peas” rather than “nuts” (now I understand why they come from the pea family!).

Will try out more recipes soon I’m sure. Thanks again!

Richa, aren’t we all missed the chance of learning some great recipes. These days I remember the recipes which I loved, but donno how to get them. Thats one of the resons I started this blog.

Ramya, I think your kid would love this since it is a sweetish daal.

Coold, as far as this blog is concerned, I try to give the content of onions, potatoes etc in cups to avoid confusion. If you are asking about any recipe on this blog or from some other link, please give me the link and I will tell you the amount you can use for it. There is no exact measurements for it.

Aruna, I am sure fresh methi is better than Kasoori methi for it. That day I didn’t want to run to Indian store for finding this and I had kasoori methi at home. Thanks a lot for sending me this recipe. Its a big treasure for me. I donno how to thank you enough.

Roopa, thats a nice version. I am gonnu try it next time I find malabar spinach here. Thanks a lot.

Sneha, let me know how you liked it.

Shanthi, Thanks for the kind words. I used around 2 tbl spns of kasoori methi for the quantity I mentioned in above post.

You have a wonderful web site. Lot of yummy recipes. I have tried out quite a few from your blog and they turned out to be absolutely amazing.

This dal sounds too good. Can you tell me how much of kasoori methi you used instead of fresh methi. What is the quantity?

Thanks
