Directions
Garlicky Dal (Savory Lentils),From Recipes with a Spice – Indian Cuisine for Balanced Nutrition’ by Kusum Gupta This dal is the perfect accompaniment to spicy vegetables, bread and rice. Use any kind of lentils. One of the favorites is a mix of split green & yellow Mung and split reddish Masoor. When cooked, dry dal becomes almost 4 times in volume. Serve it hot when well mixed and of semi-liquid consistency. It can be refrigerated or frozen.,This was exactly what I was looking for. Not sure what type of dal used (small green/grey and split – they were unlabeled in a jar at the back of the cupboard). I put them with the boiling water in a slow cooker for about 4hrs. Just the right amount of zing from the spices, chilli and garam masala. A keeper for sure. Thanks.,I was looking for a lentil recipe that would not be bland, and this was perfect – tasty, healthy, and a bit of bite to it. used regular green lentils, and coriander powder (added with the other seasonings) instead of seeds. I also used a Thai chili-garlic sauce instead of the chili powder and chilis. And I omitted the garnish. AND I added in some quarter-slices of summer squash, swiss chard, and a few carrot rounds, and then served over rice. Yum! I’ll definitely be making this again, and our houseguest asked for the recipe. Thanks for posting it!
