amti dal recipe | how to make maharashtrian amti dal recipe with step by step photos and video recipe. Amti dal is a delicious, spicy and tangy maharashtrian style dal recipe. This amti dal goes best with rice and Puran poli recipe. The word amti means tangy with the combination of spice and sweetness. the tangy taste comes mainly from kokum or tamarind, sweetness comes from jaggery and spice is from the goda masala.

amti dal recipe | how to make maharashtrian amti dal recipe with step by step photos and video recipe. Amti dal is a festival recipe prepared in maharashtra. Gudi padva is the holy festival of maharashtra and the festive meal is incomplete without “amti dal”.

Amti dal itself has various variations.Amti is basically prepared with toor dal/pigeon peas split. for the tanginess, some add kokum and some add tamarind like I use here. The main ingredient which makes this toor dal amti unique is “goda masala”.

Goda masala is a unique spice mix powder used in maharashtrian recipes. Some of the recipe like misal pav and amti is incomplete without goda masala. Actually, maharashtrian recipes are spicy in taste. Maharashtrian amti is really comforting food. there is one other version called “katachi amti” but this is very simple and easy to make recipe.

To make this amti, you need to boil your lentils first. once the dal is cooked prepare your tadka and then assemble it. your amti will be ready in 25 mins.

Notes

• use ghee for more flavours, however you can replace with oil if you are diet conscious.I am avoiding it.
• make sure to whisk the toor dal well before adding to tempering as amti is the fine thin dal recipe.
• you can use kokum as well. tamarind and kokum will give the same taste.
