First Dal i learnt

This is the first recipe i learnt from my mother in law, as am very poor cook.. This is the easiest dal i ever cooked..If my mood is not there for cooking i will just cook this one.And my friends used to tease me saying oh a green saaru madidiya :)

Ingredients:
Toor dal- 1 cup
Green chilly - 5 to 6
Jeera - 1 tspoon
Onion- 1
Coriander leaves(cilantro)
Sambar powder(optional)
Salt to taste
oil


Method:
Boil the toor dal,green chilly,cilantro in pressure cookerand add some turmeric and oil so that dal cooks soon. After cooling of that just mix the contents in mixie and keep aside.
Now have some oil in a pan and put some musturd seeds , jeera for seasoning, curry leaves and onion ..Fry till onion turn brownish.Now add the mixed contents in the pan and some water and add sambar powder(optional) .Add salt to taste..Let this boil for 5 minutes and it tastes when it boils for much longer time..Thats it..
