Some cool recipes images:
Dahl
Image by conall..
One of my new years resolutions this year was to put more recipes on Flickr. (that was actually a resolution for a few recent years but I didnt really do it as much as I intended) I used to put quite a few recipes on 5 to 10 years ago (and I still go back to them) but have def got less good at it.
the Dahl I made this evening was so good, I want to go back to the it and have instructions to replicate and am now glad I took a couple of pictures and took notes! I cant pretend it is authentic, but it works for me and is very easy to make with the stuff I keep in my cupboards. …and probably adaptable to the contents of other people’s cupboards
this makes about a ton – so plenty to freeze and get the repeated benefit of having made it.
ingredients:
450g Channa dahl (split chickpeas)
250g red lentils
4 decent size red onions
loads of garlic ( about 2 large garlic bulbs – i have such a home grown glut at the moment so I love using it for good stuff)
cooking oil
to taste:
Cumin seeds well ground in pestle and mortar
Mild chili powder (mine was home grown/made and I love using it)
Mustard powder
mild curry powder
black pepper
salt
turmeric (loads)
Rinse the lentils/channa well.
Cover in water plus 3cm
Bring to Boil and then simmer for 40 minutes (i do this in a cool oven in a cast iron cooker)
separately and in parallel, in a big frying pan, fry the onions well to proper browning point but stop there. then add the garlic and all the the spices and then just a minute or two later a splash of water to stop any serious garlic caramelisation and then cook more slowly for a while.
Combine the 2 pans – then leave in a cool oven (about 120 C) for a good hour (or two …or three if you have something to do).
