Dal pakwan is
authentic Sindhis breakfast recipe. The recipe I am presenting here is based on
the way it is prepared in my home town Jamnagar. Dal Pakwan is served with gram
dal, crispy puri and spicy onion chutney, one can pour onion chutney as per the
taste.
Ingredients:
For Dal
1 cup Bengal gram
dal
½ tsp mustard seeds
Pinch of asafoetida
(hing)
1 tbsp garlic paste
½ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chili
powder
2 tbsp oil
Salt to taste
For spicy onion
chutney
1 cup grated onion
1 tbsp garlic paste
1 tbsp red chili
powder
½ tbsp garam masala
powder
½ tbsp oil
¼ cup water
Salt to taste
For Pakwan
1 cup refined flour
1 tsp oil
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying
Method:
For Dal:
Soak gram dal for 2
to 3 hours in water. Cook dal in pressure cooker for 3 whistles with enough
water. Heat the oil in a pan, add mustard seeds when the seeds crackle add safoetida,
garlic paste and sauté for second. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt
and cook for 5 minutes.
For spicy onion
chutney
Meanwhile heat the
oil in a pan, add grated onion, garlic paste, salt and sauté for second. Add
red chili powder, garam masala powder and ¼ cup water cook for 2 minutes.
For crispy pakwan:
Combine refined
flour, oil and salt in a bowl. Add enough water and make hard dough, keep a
side for 10 minutes. Divide dough into 4 to 5 equal portion and roll out the
big size thin puri out of the dough. Lay out all puri separately on plastic
sheet and dry them for 20 minutes or till become hard. Heat the oil in a frying
pan and fry puri till golden brown (add one puri at a time).
Serve hot Dal
Pakwan with spicy onion chutney.
Note: Pakwan can prepared in advance and store
it in air tight container.
