arhar dal with kathal {pigeon beans with jackfruit}

Today is Chaitra Durgashtami  and was not in mood to cook veggie with onion and garlic .so i tried dal with jack fruit.The flesh of the jack fruit is starchy, fibrous and is a source of dietary fiber.pigeon beans contain high levels of protein and the important amino acidsmethionine, lysine, and tryptophan. In combination with cereals, pigeon peas make a well-balanced human food. . here is my recipe:

Ingredients:
4 cup chopped kathal( baby jack fruit without seeds)
1 cup arhar(toor) dal
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
3 chopped tomatoes
1 tsp grated ginger
salt to taste
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/4 tsp garam masala powder
1/4 tsp kitchen king powder
1 tsp oil
1pinch asafoetida
1 tsp cumin seeds

Method:
                Pressure cook dal with kathal,turmeric powder,salt and all powders except garam masala.cook for 3-4 whistle or till done.

                Heat  oil in a pan when hot add cumin seeds when splutter add asafoetida ,then add chopped tomatoes and grated ginger ,a pinch of turmeric,salt saute for a min.add cooked dal-kathal.mix very well .add garam masala simmer the flame and close the lid for 10-12 minutes.
