BUTTERY MOONG DAL WITH GARLIC AND CUMIN



Buttery Moong Dal With Garlic and Cumin image

This a basic mung bean dal, meant to be a simple everyday Indian meal with rice and chapati, or a side dish as part of a larger meal. The wonderful buttery flavor is obtained from the technique called tarka, which means spices sizzled in ghee, added to the pot at the end of the cooking process. Whirl the dal in a blender for a velvet-smooth texture. You could serve it as is, with the texture of a thick vegetable purée, or thin it with a little water and serve it as a soup. Other legumes such as red lentils or yellow split peas may be used instead.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup moong dal (split mung beans), soaked 2 hours in cold water, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons ghee, clarified butter or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 green chile, slit lengthwise
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 large shallot, diced
Garam masala or red chile powder (optional)
Plain basmati rice, freshly cooked, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Put dal, turmeric and salt in a large soup pot, add 7 cups water and bring to a gentle boil, stirring.
  • Turn heat very low and cover pot with lid slightly ajar. Check pot and stir frequently, as the dal has a tendency to boil over in the beginning. Skim off and discard any foam that rises. Cook for about 45 minutes, until quite soft. Taste and adjust salt. For a smooth, velvety consistency, purée dal in a blender, then return to pot. If you prefer some texture, just beat with a whisk for a minute or two. (If dal is very thick, thin with a little water.)
  • Make the tarka: Heat ghee in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin, chile and garlic and cook until cumin is fragrant and garlic is lightly colored, about 1 minute. Add shallot and continue cooking until shallot is softened, about 1 minute more. Pour contents of skillet into pot and stir into the dal.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl or individual soup bowls. Sprinkle with a pinch of garam masala or red chile powder and/or serve with basmati rice, if desired. Dal may be made in advance, refrigerated and reheated (it will solidify when chilled and need thinning). Cool to room temperature before refrigerating. It will keep 2 to 3 days.

Split Green Mung Beans, Mumbai-Style image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 50m

Yield About 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup split green mung beans(chilkewali mung dal)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced and seededhot green chili
3/4 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped tomatoes(canned is fine)
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sunflower orsafflower oil, or other neutral oil
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
2 tablespoons julienned fresh ginger
12 curry leaves (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine the dal, turmeric, garlic, chili, onions, tomatoes, brown sugar, salt and 4 cups water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently, and cook, covered, for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Partly uncover and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, until the dal is tender; turn off the heat. Use an Indian mathani (see related article) to purée the dal for about 1 minute; the dal should be saucy but not soupy.
  • To make the tadka, heat the oil in a small saucepan over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cover the pan; let the seeds pop and sizzle. When the popping begins to subside, add the ginger and cook until lightly browned, about 15 seconds, and add the curry leaves, if you're using them. Turn off the heat and stir in the cumin.
  • Pour the tadka into the dal; stir gently to combine. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
