Curry leaves have a unique flavor so they are hard to substitute… you can leave them out. Tamarind provides the sour flavor so you could substitute lime or lemon juice. The type of sourness is a bit different but do-able.
Where are you finding these ingredients in the US? When we lived in Kuwait we had a wonderful abundance of spices, including those from India… I miss all those markets with those amazing spices! Where in the world can we find these here?
simple easy to follow…straight to the point..loved it and i have already made this a few different ways..but i have to say this is the easiest and the best way to cook this dish…i am off to make some right now im starving lol…good work ladies..im a huge fan of indian food..beats boring aussie food any day
You don’t have to have a pressure cooker to make daal. Be sure you soak it first and you may have to cook it a little longer. Curry leaves have a wonderful flavor, but if you cannot find them, it’s ok to leave them out,
That looks awesome. I just had my first experience with dal yesterday. I’m going to try some more. I neither have a pressure cooker, nor do I have any curry leaves, what I do have is some Garam Massala, and the guy at the place where I had the dal (fry) said I could use that what do you think?
I made this daal before yesterday. To be honets, I didn’t even know we had that many spices at home. My mom was really surprised that I cooked it. Thanks so much !
Yes, you can do that. Putting the coriander in ghee or oil prevents it from changing colors. Be sure to switch off the flame before adding the coriander and after a quick stir, immediately add it into the daal.

Most US cities have Indian grocery stores. You will find all of the spices at pretty reasonable prices.
