Osaman recipe | Gujarati Osaman dal | thin healthy toor dal | with 30 amazing images.

Osaman recipe is a traditional thin Gujarati dal. Learn to make thin healthy toor dal.

Osaman is a hot, liquid recipe akin to rasam, but not so spicy! The use of toovar dal water imparts a very comforting feel to this Gujarati Osaman dal.

Osaman is a Gujarati dish made from arhar dal which has a thin soup-like consistency. In some parts of the world Osaman is called pigeon pea soup and consumed as a hot soothing winter Osaman soup.

Need a thin sweet and sour dal, then try Osaman. The dal is sweetened with jaggery and the sourness comes from kokum.

Gujarati Osaman dal is traditionally made on the sweeter side.

At home, we love to have Osaman on Sunday with some roti and rice. My elderly parents love this comfort Osaman soup and have it when feeling a little sick.

Tips for Osaman. 1. You can increase or decrease the amount of jaggery ( gur) based on how sweet you want the Osaman. 2. See the thin watery consistency of the cooked toor dal for making Osaman. 3. Kokum provides a nice sour taste to Osaman and you can adjust the amount of kokum used based on the sourness you want.

Hi Asha The reason for giving recipe ingredients in cups is that most people buy and store ingredients. It is difficult to weigh each ingredient on a daily basis and moreover most of them may not even have a weighing scale at home. So we use a standard cup i.e. 200 ml.
