Kaddu Ki Khatti Daal or Bottle Gourd Khatti Daal

#cookpadindia #innovative It's an excellent twist to the original Hyderabadi Khatti Daal by me. In this particular one, I have added Bottle Gourd. The rest of the process is very much similar. It's exactly the same. The only difference being the addition of Bottle Gourd pieces. Like how these are added in another famous dish called Hyderabadi Kaddu Ka Dalcha in which Bottle Gourd is used. But this one here is not Dalcha. It's the famous Khatti Daal with Bottle Gourd. Isn't it lovely looking friends? Well it is! And it's yummy too. That's it. It's a perfect Khatti Daal for your family mealtimes. It tastes more delicious alongside Chicken 65 or Fish Fry. You will love the combination. Infact it's a perfect side dish for many a Dry or Fried dishes. Hyderabadi Tala huwa Gosht is also a lovely combination.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soak Daal for at least 2 hours or more. Also soak Tamarind in enough water. Set aside.

* Step 2

Add soaked Daal along with the water, Green Chillies, Curry Leaves, Ginger garlic paste, Salt, Turmeric powder, Red Chilli powder, Tomatoes to a Pressure cooker. Do not throw away the water in which Daal was soaked. Pressure cook for 8-10 whistles.

* Step 3

After done, add Bottle Gourd chunks to it. You can Pressure cook if desired. But I don't prefer that. Cover and simmer on a low heat until it's tender. It will take about 12-15 minutes. Now as a second last step, add Tamarind water that was squeezed thoroughly out of that ball of it. Also adjust Salt at this stage. Add a small bunch of chopped Coriander Leaves.

* Step 4

Allow it to come to a rolling boil on a medium high heat for about 8-10 minutes. Adjust consistency also without fail. It should be semi thick, neither too thick nor too thin or watery. As a final step, add the tempering to it. Mix well and it's all done. Enjoy!
