Hi, stumbled upon this post during my quest of searching for authentic osaman recipe :-) I cant refrain myself from commenting on the way you handle all comments and feedback. Your humility and honesty is refreshing and truly commendable and I am inspired to also follow your footsteps. Thanks

the osaman tastes very nice even when one is suffering from cold & cough. it gives great relief to the throat

I would love to share it. I actually made it just last night. Turned out yummy and healthy. I will post it here to u today or tomorrow. It's very simple and healthy. Please also visits food website. Jaggirls.blogspot.com. It's my foodie website. Fairly new. You have a nice site.

This isnt authentic osaman - DK I am sorry but you do need to do a bit more research - Osaman is the gujarati equivalent of rasam and is usually prepared only with the dal stock....which is why it is usually eaten with lachko (the boiled dall minced) and bhaat (rice).....did not expect this from my favourite recipe site.....disappointed

Purvi, I take it as a compliment that something dated as far back as 2008 is visited and reviewed upon with the same expectation as one posted recently. Its one thing to do research and another to actually find the absolute correct info (esp. those days when there weren't any blogs or much info on the net) , which is why readers like you are helpful in providing details close to their authenticity and origin. Although, if I had to be honest, my learning curve was still at its nascent stage those days. Thank you for the info. I might repost it later with better quality. --DK

I have the orgjnal osaman recipe. This sounds more kerela style or south iDisk because u used Tamarand. Osaman is served with lachko dal ( toor Dahl ) and plain rice.

Would love to see your recipe, Jannki --DK

This recipe is not of a true gujarati osaman daal . Though whatever type of daal one wants to call ithis recipe, it looks good & sounds wonderful. No offence meant to the chef.

No offence taken. Do you know the authentic version of Osaman Dal? If yes, would love to get a recipe from you. You can upload ur recipe at the site for all of us to try it as well. Here is the link: http://chefinyou.com/member-recipes/?recipe=new. Thanks --DK

After adding the Tamarind paste it turned the water black. How did yours come out so nicely?

I think it depends on the paste. Was it really concentrated? For this recipe, the amount I mentioned really doesnt affect the recipe except add a slightly tangy taste. It did not change the color too. Was the taste of tamarind strong in the final outcome? If it is, then it could probably be the brand! --DK

This looks great! It looks like a really comforting dish.

We will try this soon. We are having rice with dal or beans at least once a week for dinner, and this looks like a really tasty combination...we just moved to a place where I can find fresh curry leaves and I love the flavor! Thanks for the recipe.

You wrote let the next daal you prepare be this one and I followed it. Yesterday I made this for dinner. We had some leftover chapathis and rice from lunch and I was too bored to cook something. I was browsing your recipe index for ideas and got to this page.

Attention everybody, those are reading this post go ahead and make this one and this is the only daal you would be making hereafter. It's so simple but is full of flavor.

I cooked the daal in vegetable stock. First I was skeptical about adding jaggery, but anyway I added but only 1 teaspoon. I was surprised that the jaggery did taste well in the daal. 1 teaspoon was enough for me and also you need not add additional salt if you are cooking with vegetable stock.

Thanks dear for this simple and very tasty recipe.

this dal is my MIL fav. she taught me how to make it when she was here. but it was very diff. we use the green moong dal's water to make it and add curd and besan to it.
its an entire combo of mung, baath and osaman ie, green moong dal, rice and osaman.
urs is a nice variation too.

Little differnet from the regular dal we cook, with peanuts..sounds delish...

Lovely recipe DK really i liked it.

This is new to me, sounds delicious, a variation for me from the regular dhal :)

Lovely dal,though i never use any sort of sweet ingredient in spicy dals,but i love the flavor that Gujrati dals generally have.Also i am bit apprehensive of hing coz i had a very bad experience when i added hing to regular moong dal that we make and everyone just left it untouched :-(
So can i go without hing or does it actually enhances the flavour of this dal?

That is what i though Osama was inspiring you when i read the title :-)
Dal looks yumm.
Love the addition of nuts .

Wow looks gr8. Never heard of this before. You can send this to MLLA i think.

Looks great Dk...Adding peanuts, tamarind n jaggery to the dal, needless to say how they will be tasty na!!!

mmmmm dal look so yummy DK comfort food

Dhal with a hint of tamarind and hing comes out tasty Divya. Nice to know the name. Viji

This dal looks so good and the photos are beautiful! Can't wait to try it. Love your site and can't wait to return and explore more of your yummy recipes.

Lovely and healthy,DK.I think u are on an Indian spree.Cheers

Dal is one of my favorite things to make and it is always great to come across new recipes.
