Chana Dal med okra och kokosnöt

👩‍🍳 Gör så här

1. 1
   Put the chana dal into a deep saucepan with 1 teaspoon of the salt, the turmeric, and the measured boiling water. Cover the pan with a lid and cook over medium–low heat for 45–50 minutes, until the chana dal is soft and all the water has been absorbed. Set aside.
2. 2
   Heat the ghee in a separate large saucepan over medium–low heat. Add the mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried red chiles and cook for a few seconds, until they begin to sizzle. Stir in the shallots and cook for 2 minutes, until they begin to soften.
3. 3
   Increase the heat under the saucepan to medium, mix in the okra and cook for about 5 minutes, until it begins to turn slimy (don’t worry about the slime at this point—it will disappear during cooking).
4. 4
   Stir in the remaining salt, the spices and coconut, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid and cook for 15–20 minutes, until the okra has softened and the slime has disappeared.
5. 5
   Add the cooked chana dal to the okra, mixing well. Serve immediately.
