Hi Foodies,
Texas weather has suddenly changed from hot summer to cloudy and breezy. Though we are still waiting for rain showers, this pleasant weather motivated me to do new experiment in my kitchen - hot and tangy Dal - Methi Parcel. I made this parcel with Moong dal and kasuri methi stuffing. Hope you too enjoy it.
Yield: - 8 parcels
Ingredients:-
For Dough:-
All-purpose flour – 1 cup
Carom seeds – ½ tsp
Oil – 3 tbsp
Salt – as per taste
Water – ¾ cup
For Dal – Methi filling
Boiled moong dal – ¼ cup
Kasuri methi - 2 tbsp
Black pepper powder – ½ tsp
Tamarind pulp – 2 tbsp
Salt as per taste
Oil – 1 tbsp + deep frying
Asafetida – a pinch
Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
Garam masala – ¼ tsp
Red chili powder – ½ tsp
Directions:-
1. In a mixing bowl, add all mentioned ingredients except water for making the dough and mix it well. Now add little water at a time and knead soft dough. Let the dough rest for 20 mins.
2. Heat oil in pan and, add asafetida and kasuri methi. Don’t overcook it otherwise it will be burnt and give bitter taste.
3. Now add boiled moong dal, mix well and cook for 2-3 mins. Add all above mentioned spices and tamarind pulp, and mix well. Let this stuffing cook for 2-3 mins.
4. Let the stuffing cool down completely.
5. Divide the dough in equal parts, and make a thin (like chapatti) square shape sheet out of it. Now cut the sheet in 2 inch wide strips. Do the same with rest of the dough.
6. Take 2 strips and put these in a shape of plus (+).
7. Take small amount of filling and place in the center of the plus shape. Now fold the parcel first vertically and then horizontally.
8. Seal edges carefully using little water.
9. Now heat oil in frying pan. Fry these parcels on medium flame until they are golden brown in color.
10. Enjoy the Dal – Methi parcels with your choice of sauce or chutney.
