Categories     Main Course     Side Dish     Soup

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups Red Lentils
2 inch Fresh Ginger (peeled and finely grated)
2 cloves Fresh Garlic (peeled and crushed)
1 tsp Turmeric
2 tsp Curry Powder
1 tsp Chili Powder (optional)
5 cups Water or Vegetable Broth (depending on how soupy you like your dhal)
Sea Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
2 tbsp Butter, Ghee or Vegetable oil
2 Shallots (or an onion, any kind, thinly sliced)
1 Jalapeno Pepper (thinly sliced )
Fresh Cilantro (Coriander)

Steps:

  • Rinse the lentils carefully under running water.
  • Place all of the dahl ingredients including the lentils in a large saucepan.
  • Bring the pot to a boil on a medium-high heat, then turn it down to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent anything sticking on the bottom. Taste and season as you go.
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the lentils are soft and the dhal has thickened. Taste and season again before serving. Add more water if you want a thinner dhal.
  • Meanwhile if you're adding the shallots as an optional topping, fry them in a frying pan with the butter, ghee or oil. Cook on a medium low heat stirring occasionally, until golden brown, around 10 minutes.
  • Serve the dahl. Optionally top with the golden shallots, thin sliced jalapeno and fresh cilantro/coriander.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup red lentils (yellow lentils will work as well)
3 cups water
3 plum tomatoes
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup finely chopped white or yellow onion
2 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped and made into a paste (see Recipe Note)
2 teaspoons Bengali five spice mix (panch phoron) OR 1/2 teaspoon nigella seeds or black (or white) sesame seeds, 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds, and (if available) 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice)
8 sprigs cilantro, de-stemmed and chopped
Cooked basmati rice, optional

Steps:

  • Blanch and chop the tomatoes: While the lentils are cooking in step 1, bring a separate small pot of water to a boil. Score the peel of the tomatoes with a sharp knife in the shape of an "X". Place the tomatoes in the boiling water and blanch for one minute. Remove the tomatoes to a bowl to cool. Once cool, peel the tomatoes and cut out and discard the tough stem end. Chop the tomatoes, or mash them, and set aside.

When I first posted this recipe, I hadn't made it, I had posted it for a tag game, but encouraged by the positive reviews it has received, I made it this weekend, and took it as a gift for my friend, who loves hot curries and dahls. Its a little hot for my personal taste, but she loved it! Easy and quick to make, it comes from the Very Easy Vegetarian Cookbook, by Simon & Alison Holst
