    Dali Thoy or Dalithoy is a simple easy to make Konkani Style Dal. This Vegan Spiced Lentil Curry can be prepared under 30 mins, as plain or with potato and it makes a delicious side dish for Poori or rice.

    Dalitoy or Dali Tove is a Konkani Style spiced lentil broth. It is a quintessential simple dal made in almost every Konkani household. They are so fond of this dal that it has a place in their festival menus, regular menus and almost daily as how much the Dal is loved in Northern India.

    I read about this dali toyi recipe when I was searching for my A to Z Indian Pooris and landed on Rantosse. Rantosse is a rice flour deep fried poori, popular in Konkani cuisine. Rantosse and Dali toye or Dalithoy or just thoy is a simple to make side dish for Poori without onions.

    Rice Pooris with Potato Thoy is a traditional and popular konkani combination, served for breakfast and a special dish prepared on Holi Celebrations in many Gaud Saraswat Brahmin (GSB) homes.

    I was so glad that I got a delicious combo dishes for both my A to Z Indian Poori Series and the current one that I am doing on A to Z Easy Family Dinner Ideas. If you are looking for quick to make, easy family dishes for weekdays, this Toor dal Curry is a must to make.

    Dalitoy or Dali Tove (pronounced as ‘Tho-way) is a Vegan Spiced Lentil Stew. Making it pressure cooker gets this done in 20 mins time. This dal makes a wonderful part of Family-Friendly Weeknight Dinner Recipes.

      Dali thoy is one of our favorite dal to eat! I don't add potatoes in mine and that is a great idea. I am going to add it next time when I make. Thanks for the recipe!

      A comfort food for Konkanis. I too make it without adding potatoes but potatoes would be agreat addition, I guess. These pooris have been on my to do list for ever and I bet the combo was good.
