This one is a tiny recipe and on demand from a dear friend Nidarshana! This is a typical quick fix in my kitchen.
Ingredients:
1. Red Lentils - 1 cup
2. Bamboo Shoot - to taste
3. Salt and Turmeric - to taste
4. Fenugreek Seed - a pinch.
5. 2 Green Chillies.
6. Oil - 1 spoon
Method:
Wash the lentils and add in a pressure cooker. Add salt and turmeric and cook with water. Add enough for 4 people and this needs to be a little watery and not thick. Once cook set aside, let the steam go and open the cooker.
In a wok / deep pan, heat a spoon of oil (veg/ mustard.. as you like). Add the fenugreek and let it split. Reduce the flame. Add the cooked lentils, water and all, and add the chillies. Now add two spoons of wet bamboo shoot. Check for taste, if it is not sour enough add some more. But remember, once boiled, the sourness will increase. Let the whole thing bubble a while and you are done. You can garnish with coriander if you want to.
Serve with hot steam rice, crispy fish fry and mesh potato (aloo pitika) or any good mesh/ pitika.
