Here’s How You Can Make The Parsi Dish Dhansak At Home
If you are already craving the Parsi dishes Arjun Kapoor recently enjoyed, then here’s an easy recipe to make some delicious chicken dhansak at home.
Required Ingredients
2 cup toor dal
1 cup moong dal
1 cup orange masoor dal
2 small onions
Ginger-garlic paste to marinate the meat
2 teaspoons each of turmeric, red chilli, garam masala, and dry dhansak masala powder
2 tsp of methi seeds
1 small slice pumpkin
1 small capsicum
2 small brinjals
1 kg mutton/chicken pieces washed and cleaned
Salt to taste
Juice of 1 lemon
Process
- First, soak the dals and marinate your choice of meat in salt/ginger-garlic paste either overnight or 4 -5 hours prior to you cooking.
- Take a pressure cooker, saute the onion with oil and a tsp of ginger garlic paste until the onion turns golden brown. Add in the masalas and the salt. Cook for sometime and then add in your veggies to stir fry.
- Once all the vegetables are coated in the masala and have become semi-soft add in all the dal with about 3-4 cups of water.
- Cook the mixture for about 3 whistles and then further for 10 mins on slow flame.
- Take a separate crockpot, heat up a little oil and add in the chicken. Add in a little water if needed and steam cook for about 15 – 20 minutes.
- Once the dal is cooked, stir it a bit and then add in the cooked chicken. Squeeze in some lemon juice and let the Dhansak simmer for another 10 minutes. When the dal starts to form bubbles, you know your dhansak is ready.
Dhansak is traditionally served with brown rice and Kachumber salad, so don’t forget that! Also, unlike Arjun Kapoor, if you want to enjoy some vegetable dhansak, check out the recipe below:
