A neutral, lentil dish that complements any other curry or gravy.
|
||||
|
||||
:::info
|
||||
This recipe uses brown lentils (Whole Masoor Dal), as well as their hulled (red dal) and split (split red dal) forms.
|
||||
The whole dal retain their consistency, and the hulled and split dal thicken the gravy. Both are recommended to be used.
|
||||
Some substitutes for the whole dal can be done, I have used whole mung beans (Green Moong Dal) as a replacement, and any split dal can be used instead of the split red dal.

**Lentil Preparation**
|
||||
1. Add each type of lentil individually to a large bowl and rinse well at least 3x.
|
||||
2. Add to a pot with 4 cups water if using both types of lentils, 3 cups if not using split lentils.
|
||||
3. Bring to a rolling boil, skimming froth if it appears.
|
||||
4. Reduce to medium and cook until tender, for 20-25 mins. Red lentils should break down completely and brown lentils to retain their shape.
|
||||
|
||||
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
|
||||
1 tsp sea salt, adjust to taste
|
||||
1 tsp kashmiri chili powder, adjust to taste
|
||||
1 tsp coriander powder (optional)
|
||||
1/2 tsp cumin powder (optional)
|
||||
1 tsp garam masala, adjust to taste
|
||||
**Gravy Instructions**
|
||||
1. On a medium flame, head 2/3 tbsp ghee/oil in large pot.
|
||||
2. When medium hot, add cumin and fennel seeds followed by dried red chilis. If using chili flakes save for a later step.
|
||||
3. Once sizzling and the chilis turn crisp but not burnt, add onions. Sautee until light golden for 5-6 mins.
|
||||
4. Stir in ginger garlic and coriander leaves/stems. Sautee until aromatic for 1-2 mins.
|
||||
5. Stir in turmeric, salt, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and garam masala.
|
||||
6. Add tomatoes and deglaze by pouring 1/4 cup water.
|
||||
7. Cook until tomatoes break down completely.
|
||||
8. Add cooked lentils along with the liquid in the pot and mix well. Pour hot water as needed (about 1/2 cup or as needed) and bring to boil.
|
||||
9. Simmer for 5 minutes until thick and traces of fats visible on top. Optionally mash lentils a bit for a creamier consistency.
|
||||
10. Stir in amchur poweder and fenugreek leaves.
|
||||
|
||||
1 tbsp amchur powder
|
||||
