Urad Dal Dangar in Marathi

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup Urad dal (with peels on)
1 tbsp Cumin Seeds
1/2 tbsp Asafoetida
5 to 6 dry red Chilies
1/2 tbsp oil

Method:
1) Dry roast Urad over medium low heat till you sense nice aroma. Stir continuously. It should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Then transfer roasted Urad to a bowl.
2) Heat 1/2 tsp oil in a pan and roast red chilies over medium low heat for 2 minutes. Do not roast over high heat, it will burn the chilies. Remove seeds if you want the powder less spicy.
2) Mix roasted Urad Dal, cumin, asafoetida, and roasted red chilies together and grind to fine powder. Dangar is ready.
Let it cool down and then store it in a airtight container.

Mix 1 tbsp Dangar, 3 tbsp finely chopped onion or 2 cloves of crushed garlic, some yogurt and salt. Serve this mixture an accompaniment with the meal.
