Dali toy recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Dali toy is a very easy and tasty Konkani style dal or tove is prepared with very minimum ingredients. Dali toy is prepared using toor dal, green chilli, asafoetida and tempering. This tasty dal rasam tastes good with rice.
This is a very simple dal tove. Neither tamarind nor tomato is added. But some people will add little tomato along with the green chilli. Lemon juice at the end is optional, however lemon juice is not there in the original recipe. Even the coriander leaves are not added in the original recipe. Apart from all these, no spice powders, no coconut....so it is totally simple. But believe me it is very tasty.
Generally dali toy or dal rasam or dal tove is served with hot steaming rice. However you can reduce the amount of water and serve it with chapati or serve it like soup.
