Hello,
I've bought a few packets of lentils from Asia when we were on holiday few months back. Since I had a packet of frozen roti paratha, dhal curry can be a perfect companion. Almost all of the Indian restaurant in some country like Malaysia and Singapore, they will served dhal or any other curry sauce together with roti paratha.
I've made a basic dhal curry for our dinner tonight, it was a simple dish but all I can say is, we enjoyed our Indian food at home. Dhal curry is sure one of the delicious vegetarian main meal or side dish, quite easy and ready in less than an hour.
DHAL CURRY
Ingredients;
200g yellow lentils
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2cm fresh ginger, chopped
4-5 dry chilies
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
Salt and pepper to taste
METHOD;
- Rinse lentil a few times and drain.
- Place lentils and 3 cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to boil, let it simmer over medium heat for 20-30 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Season with salt.
- In another frying pan, melt a spoonful butter or ghee and fry onion until fragrant.
- Add garlic, ginger, dried chilies and turmeric powder, stir and fry until onion turns light brown.
- Add chopped tomato and all the other spices, fry for a few minutes.
- Once the lentil are done, transfer the onion mixture to the soften lentil and cook for another few minutes, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper.
