If you are looking for a quick recipe on a busy morning, you can temper and prepare dal in the instant pot and pressure cooker directly. dal turns flavorful by cooking step by step
Can I use regular tomatoes?
yes, in that case, use little tamarind for extra sourness.
Can I skip shallots and garlic?
For the best flavorful Pappu use shallots and garlic. if you don’t like strong garlic flavor you can reduce the amount of garlic. You can use chopped regular onions instead of shallots.
Is this spicy Andhra dal?
Traditionally Andhra Pappu is spicy but I made a kid-friendly version of green tomato. I have used red and green chili for flavor but have used them on whole. If you prefer spicy Pappu split chilies and increase chilli powder.
