Ingredients:
1/2 cup urad dal
1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
1/2 tsp Cumin seed (Jeera)
1/2 tsp Red Chili powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
Ginger garlic paste as per taste
1 tsp ghee
1-2 cup Water
Salt, to taste
Asafetida powder
Chopped green coriander leaves
Method:
➢ Chaisoo is also known as chaise, Chaiswadi in various parts of
Uttarakhand.
➢ Before starting the recipe firstly, we have to grind the urd daal
to a powder. The powder should not be very fine it should be
slightly coarse.
➢ Heat a wok (Kadhai) and put one spoon ghee in it, when ghee is
heated add cumin seed, asafoetida powder and garlic paste in it.
We can make it in any metal kadhai but it will be tastier if cooked
in iron kadhai.
➢ Then add the powdered daal in it and fry on low flame till the
pleasent aroma of daal comes out.
➢ Add all the masalas including coriander powder, cumin powder,
red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt mix it up and then add
water.
➢ Cook on medium to low flame stirring occasionally until thickens
for 20-30 minutes. Once it is done, switch off the gas and add
chopped green coriander and serve hot.

Ingredients:
1 bowl-Bhatt (Yellow)
1 medium Chopped onion
2 medium Chopped tomatoes
1tsp Ginger/ Garlic paste
Pinch Cumin seeds
Pinch Asafoetida (heeng)
Red pepper as per taste
Coriander powder
Turmeric powder
Ghee and Chopped
Method:
➢ Take an iron wok (Kadhai) and start dry roasting the bhatt, for
about 4-5 mins on low flame.
➢ When they turned yellowish- brown and aroma comes out then
turn the flame off, but let them stay on the pan for some more
time. Daal should not over roast. Taste of whole dish depends upon
the roasting step.
➢ Use silbatta to grind the roasted daal which will add the
traditional taste to the dish. In all Uttarakhand dishes for
grinding, we should use silbatta instead of mixer grinder to
maintain its traditional value.
➢ We don’t have to make fine powder just go for the coarse grinding.
➢ Heat some mustard oil in a wok, add cumin seeds, followed by
asafoetida , ginger-garlic paste and chopped onions .
➢ Add chopped tomatoes along with coriander powder, turmeric
powder and salt. Cook well for some times.

for some times. After mixing and frying it for some times, add hot
water.

some 10 -15 mins, then bring it down to low. This will first cook
and soften the lentils and then will gradually reduce and thicken
the consistency. Cook for some 4-6 mins on low flame.

chopped coriander served hot.
