Hello,
Today we'll make Moong Dal Palak Tikka Curry
non fried tikkas in pan
will give taste of tikka and kofta
Let's get started
take 1/2 cup of washed moong dal
and soaked in water for 1 hour
if in hurry
take luke warm water
and soak in it
gets ready very rapidly
strain out the extra water
we not need any water in dal
that's why we are straining it
now grind the dal coarsely
take 2 green chillies
cut roughly in it it will grind with it
grind the dal coarsely
don’t grind it finely
dal is ground coarsely
grind 4 tomatoes in same jar
take 4 tomatoes for gravy
1 inch ginger baton
2 green chillies
cut roughly into the jar
cut the chillies into half
cut the ginger into big pieces as well
grind them finely
ingredients are ground
prepare koftas for dal
green chillies are already there
add 1 cup finely chopped spinach in it
add 1 pinch of baking soda
this will make koftas soft
baking soda in less quantity
doesn't harm but is beneficial
add 1 tsp of salt
and mix all the ingredients well
mixture for kofta is ready
now roast them
do not deep fry them
make them in very less oil
take a non-stick pan
heat it
add 2-3 tsp of oil to it
turn the flame medium
take a batter in hands
give it a shape of kofta
place it in pan to roast
cover them
bake it for 2-3 mins at medium flame
check it

flip the koftas
cover them and roast for 2-3 mins
after 2-3 mins
check them

flip it
roast it till it gets golden brown from both sides
cover it for 1 min

roast rest of the koftas like this
Koftas are ready

add 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds
keep the flame low to medium,
roast some whole spices
1 inch cinnamon stick
2 cloves
7 black peppers

1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp crushed dry fenugreek
roast them a little

stir the masala at short intervals
and roast it till
it looks grainy
and seperates oil from it

oil has also separated from it
now add this dal paste to it
save 1 tbsp of dal paste for now
dal paste will make gravy delicious
