Phodaniche Varan / Maharashtrian Dal Fry Recipe

                                                      

Phodaniche Varan is a traditional recipe from the Maharashtrian Cuisine. It is basically an aromatic and flavorful tempered tuvar dal (split pigeon pea) curry. Phodaniche Varan is mildly sweet, a bit tangy and spicy in taste. It is usually paired with steamed rice topped with a dollop of sajuk tup (homemade clarified butter) and this combo is a comfort food for most of the Maharashtrian families and we have it almost daily. 

  

What is Phodaniche Varan?

Varan translates to boiled lentil and phodani is tempered in Marathi Language, so basically, Phodaniche varan is a flavorful tempered lentil curry made using boiled Tuvar dal / split Pigeon peas. Phodaniche varan is typically served with steamed rice and topped with a dollop of  sajuk tup (homemade clarified butter / ghee) and is a part of every day meal from the Maharashtrian Cuisine. 

Phodaniche varan is a flavorful lentil curry and is mildly sweet , tangy and spicy in taste. It gets it typical taste and aroma from the two special ingredients, coconut and kokum. Every Maharashtrian family will have their own version of phodaniche varan which is adapted as per the taste and the liking  of the family members. My version of phodaniche varan is tempered using ghee.
