This is the best tasting dal that I have ever had! Unfortunately, I have no source for yellow lentils so I use regular lentils.
1 cup lentils
cover the lentils with water and boil until soft
1 medium onion chopped
1 heaping teaspoon ginger paste
1 heaping garlic paste
fry until brown. Add
3 roma tomatoes chopped
blend the mixture and add to the lentils plus
2 tablespoons yogurt
Garnish
one small dried red chile
teaspoon mustard seed
teaspoon cumin seed
ghee
Heat the ghee or oil until hot, brown the remaining ingredients and garnish the dal.
hmmmm... that's settled. I'm trying this one out for lunch next saturday!! I'd been wondering what other dishes one can make with lentils, other than lentil soup.

ReplyDeletethey are really good, infact I was thinking about making them even though it's too hot right now for anything except soup!

Here’s a magazine you should know about. It’s called La Cucina Italiana and it’s the U.S. edition of Italy’s oldest and most popular cooking magazine. It’s all about cooking traditional & modern Italian dishes using healthy, fresh and seasonal ingredients. (Thankfully, it’s for chefs of all levels.) I’m looking to spread the word, and if you’d like to take a look, I’d be delighted to send you a free media subscription. Here’s the site. http://www.lacucinaitalianamagazine.com. Also, if you want to host a recipe contest, we can provide the winner with a free subscription as well. Some ideas for the contest are:
ReplyDelete- Momma’s homemade spaghetti sauce
- The tastiest organic Italian soup for fall weather
- Gelato to chill for
- Holidays in the homeland…the most authentic – and delicious – Italian holiday dish
If you’d like to receive the magazine, please send your contact information to me at Vickie@reynoldspublicrelations.com. Thanks!

Do you suppose you can make ginger paste by grinding fresh ginger? Does anything else go in it? Since Thanksgiving I'm really leaning toward vegetarian again.
ReplyDeleteI make ginger paste by chopping up fresh ginger then either smashing it with the flat of a chef's knife (like you do with garlic to make a paste) or if I am making a lot I use the blender with a small jar.
ReplyDeleteWe eat meat but not as much as most gringos.

Theresa
Sounds tasty!

Hey Theresa,
ReplyDeleteWe were in touch last year about the recipe contest for La Cucina Italiana. We’ve had a couple of glitches with our complementary subscriptions, so I wanted to make sure you received yours. Also, I thought I’d pass along this incredible holiday menu by New York chef Marco Canora. It’s Thanksgiving Italian-style.
Enjoy!
