MASOOR DAL (SPICED RED LENTILS)



Masoor Dal (Spiced Red Lentils) image

What I have come to understand is that how food looks as you prepare it can make as much difference to the cook as it does, on the plate, to the person who gets to eat it. When the skies are drab and life feels a little gray, I am absurdly cheered by the fresh brightness of a vibrantly orange dal, a red lentil stew spiced with turmeric, chili and ginger, and colored with sweet potatoes and tomatoes. Just seeing that mixture in the pan lifts my spirits. It helps that a dal is simple to make: a bit of chopping and the stew all but cooks itself. And it can be made in advance and then reheated, always a bonus. This dal makes a wonderful, exuberant partner to broiled salmon, but I love it without meat, too, when I partner it with my "bright rice."

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 1/2 cups (10 ounces, about 1 medium) finely diced sweet potato
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Thai or bird's-eye red chili
1 cup red lentils
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup canned chopped tomatoes
Salt
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Pieces of coconut flesh from a fresh coconut (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, heat oil, and sauté onion until softened. Add sweet potato, and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add minced ginger and garlic; stir, and reduce heat to low.
  • Finely dice chili, keeping seeds if you wish to add more heat. Add chili, lentils, coriander, cumin, turmeric and ground ginger to pan. Stir until lentils are well coated with oil. Add tomatoes and 4 cups water. Raise heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat until mixture is at a fast simmer. Cook uncovered until lentils and potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt, and continue to simmer until mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes. Whisk dal to amalgamate lentils and sweet potatoes. If dal is too soupy, increase heat and cook for a little longer.
  • To serve, place dal in a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. If desired, shave thin strips of fresh coconut on top. Serve hot.

Dal Recipe (Indian Red Lentil Curry) image

The most amazing and authentic Indian dal recipe packed with flavor, so easy and nutritious. Make it rich and exotic restaurant style or simple and comforting home style. Guaranteed to be a hit always.

Provided by Roxana Begum

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 29

1 cup red lentils (masoor dal or other yellow lentils)
1 onion (yellow, medium, finely chopped)
1 tomato (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (finely sliced)
3/4 tsp turmeric
4 cups water
Salt (to taste)
2.5 tbsp olive oil (or ghee)
2 tsp cumin seeds
4 dried red chilies
8 - 10 curry leaves
1.5 inch ginger (finely grated)
4 cloves garlic (finely grated)
1 shallot (medium, finely chopped (or small onion))
1 tomato (small, finely chopped)
1 green chili (optional, remove seeds for less heat)
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chili powder* (Kashmiri chili powder is less pungent)
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp garam masala
1 tsp kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves)
1/2 tsp mustard seeds (optional)
2 tsp cumin seeds
5 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
5 dried red chilies
8 - 10 curry leaves
2 tbsp cilantro ( chopped)
1 tbsp ghee (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the lentils well until the water is clear and drain in colander. Tip: If using other yellow lentils instead of red lentils, then soaking in water for about an hour will help.
  • In a medium cooking pot take the drained red lentils, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, sliced garlic, turmeric, water and bring it to a boil.
  • Lower the heat and cook it for about 30 minutes. Add salt to taste and continue to cook until most lentils start breaking down, become a bit mushy and turn into a thick sauce like consistency.
  • Cook the dal until it reaches a consistency that is thinner than what is desired, because it will thicken further after cooking.

DAL (INDIAN LENTIL CURRY)



Dal (Indian Lentil Curry) image

Recipe video below. There are countless variations of Dal all across India. This is a northern Indian version called "dal tadka" that's akin to what is served in Indian restaurants. "Tadka" refers to spices sizzling in hot oil that's poured over the dal. It's dramatic and gives it a flavour bump - but is optional. I include it for company, and leave it out for midweek or if being served alongside other punchy flavoured curries. Heat level in this recipe is mild - just a tickle. If you like it fiery, try leaving in the seeds in the chillies and/or adding some chilli powder. This is a dal that's flavourful to have as a main!

Provided by Nagi

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tbsp / 30 g ghee (, or 1 tbsp oil + 1 tbsp/15g butter (Note 1))
2 green cayenne chillies (, deseeded and cut into chunks (optional) (Note 2))
1 medium onion (, finely chopped (brown or yellow))
6 garlic cloves (, finely chopped)
1 tbsp ginger (, finely chopped (1.5cm / 3/5"))
8 fresh curry leaves (, or 6 dried (Note 3))
1 tomato (, chopped)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 cup dried chana dal (, yellow split peas or other yellow lentils (Note 4 for other lentils))
4 cups / 1 litre water
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/8 tsp garam marsala
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp / 20g ghee (, or half each butter + oil (Note 1))
1 eschalot or 1/4 small onion (, halved lengthways and sliced (Note 5))
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp black mustard seeds ((optional))
3 dried chillies (, broken in half, seeds removed (optional))
Fresh coriander/cilantro sprigs ((optional))
Steamed basmati rice

Steps:

  • Soak Lentils: Rinse lentils and leave to soak in plenty of water for 1 hour. Drain in colander.
  • Heat ghee/oil in a heavy based saucepan over high heat. Add green chillies and fry for a minute until starting to blister.
  • Add onions and fry until softened.
  • Lower heat to medium, add garlic, ginger and curry leaves. Cook for 1 minute until garlic starts to turn golden and smells amazing.
  • Add tomatoes and cumin, cook until tomatoes start to break down and thicken to a paste - about 2 minutes.
  • Add lentils, water, tumeric and salt. Stir, bring to simmer, cover and simmer gently for 1 hour. Stir two or three times during the hour.
  • Remove lid and simmer gently for 30 minutes to thicken, stirring every now and then. The dal is ready when it has a consistency like porridge - some lentils should be intact but some have broken down to thicken the sauce.
  • Stir through garam masala at the end. Adjust salt if desired.
  • Pour over Tadka, if using, and stir through.
  • Serve Dal over rice, garnished with a sprig of coriander if desired.

RED LENTIL DHAL



Red Lentil Dhal image

A beautiful lentil dhal flavoured with a spicy tomato masala

Provided by HariGhotra

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

200g red lentils, washed
900ml water (approx.)
1 tsp of salt
Masala: 1 tbsp ghee or vegetable oil
1 tsp of cumin seeds
1 bay leaf
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 chilli, finely chopped
1 tsp fenugreek leaves
1 tsp of garam masala
Garnish: 1 or 2 whole chillies
Handful of coriander, chopped

Steps:

  • Place lentils in a pan with the salt, cover with the water and bring to the boil.
  • Remove the froth, reduce the heat and put the lid on the pan - leave to simmer for 10 minutes. Check the lentils are cooked by squeezing them between your fingers. Once soft remove from the heat.
  • In a frying pan heat the oil or butter. Using a fork pierce the whole chillies and add to the pan with a bay leaf and the cumin seeds.
  • When the seeds sizzle, remove the chilli and set to one side for your garnish.
  • Add the onion and garlic and fry until lightly browned. Reduce the heat and add the tomatoes, ginger, turmeric, fenugreek and the chopped chilli. Gently let the ingredients cook down for about 10 minutes to make a thick masala paste.
  • Add a ladle full of the lentils (dhal) to the masala paste in the frying pan and stir together, then empty all the contents back into the pan with the lentils and stir. It should have the consistency of a thick soup but if it's too thick just add a little boiling water and remove from the heat. If you prefer it thicker just leave it on the heat to reduce until you get the consistency you want.
  • Check the seasoning and add a little salt if required. Stir in the garam masala, coriander and top with the whole chillies to serve.

Comforting, satiating, and nutritious, dals are an everyday occurrence in millions of Indian homes across the world. This particular dal (red lentils with spinach) cooks quickly, requires no presoaking, and is easy to assemble with a handful of ingredients. Serve with naan or cooked basmati rice.

Provided by Raghavan Iyer

Categories     Vegetarian Indian Main Dishes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup red lentils
2 cups water
2 medium whole tomatoes
2 (1/4 inch thick) slices unpeeled fresh ginger
2 fresh Thai chiles, or more to taste, stems discarded
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ cup firmly packed fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
2 tablespoons ghee
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
8 ounces fresh baby spinach, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Rinse lentils in a 3- to 4-quart pot with water, rubbing lentils between the fingertips of one hand, then drain. Repeat 3 or 4 times or until the water runs clear.
  • Place drained lentils in the pot and add 2 cups water, tomatoes, ginger, chiles, and turmeric. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, skimming and discarding foam. When tomato skin is loosened and wrinkled, after about 5 minutes of cooking, transfer tomatoes to a plate to cool.
  • Reduce heat to medium and simmer lentils, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until very tender and almost mushy, about 15 minutes. (The lentil color will change from salmon to pale yellow as they cook.) Keep warm over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, peel and core cooled tomatoes; discard skins. Transfer tomatoes to a blender, along with the ginger and chiles from the pot and the cilantro. Pureé, scraping down the sides as needed, until you have a thick, green-flecked tomato sauce.
  • Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add cumin seeds and let sizzle until they turn reddish brown and smell nutty, about 10 seconds. Immediately add spinach in handfuls, stirring to wilt.
  • Stir spinach mixture, tomato sauce, and salt into warm lentils. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors mingle, about 5 minutes.

DAL MAKHANI (INDIAN LENTILS)



Dal Makhani (Indian Lentils) image

Ever go to an Indian restaurant and wonder how they make those lentils? I hated lentils before I discovered Indian food. Then I scoured the internet to figure out how they achieved them, and through mixing and matching recipes and methods on videos, I've arrived at this recipe, which I think is pretty close. This version is very rich, but you can leave out the cream to make it lighter. Kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves) is almost impossible to find in the U.S., even in NYC, but it gives this dish something very special.

Categories     Side Dish     Beans and Peas

Time 4h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup lentils
¼ cup dry kidney beans
water to cover

Add cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, and cloves; cook until bay leaves turn brown, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low; add ginger paste, garlic paste, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Stir to coat.
  • Stir tomato puree into spice mixture; cook over medium heat until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Add chili powder, coriander, and butter; cook and stir until butter is melted.

  • Sautee the onion in ghee, in a large pan, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, then add garlic, ginger and chilies. Saute until fragrant and golden. Add the fennel seeds, mustard seeds, cumin seeds and garam masala and stir two minutes. Lower heat to low. Add the fresh spinach, mint, fenugreek and water. Cover pan, 2-3 minutes, letting spinach wilt. Give a few stirs.
  • Place the wilted spinach mixture in a blender and add the 3/4 cups water. Pulse and few times (hold lid down tight). If you want a smooth sauce, blend until smooth. I left a little texture here. Pour it back into the pan, set on low heat.
  • Stir in the yogurt, lentils and salt. Taste. Adjust salt to your liking, adding more if necessary! You want this slightly salty because you are serving over rice which will mellow it out a lot. For more heat add a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes. To “up” the flavor even more, add a bit more garam masala spice to taste. If you want a little acidity a tiny squeeze of lemon is nice.
