Madhur Jaffrey's Chana Dal

 

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Indian

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 cups chana dal or yellow split peas -- picked over, washed &

drained

5 cups water

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

2 thin slices unpeeled ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt -- (to 1 tsp)

1/4 teaspoon garam masala

3 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds

1 clove garlic -- (to 2) peeled & chopped

1/4 teaspoon red chili powder -- (to 1/2 tsp)

 

Put the dal in a heavy pot along with the water. Bring to a boil and remove any

surface scum. Add the turmeric and ginger. Cover, leaving the lid just very

slightly ajar, turn heat to low, and simmer gently for one and a half hours or

until the dal is tender. Stir every 5 minutes or so during the last half hour

of cooking to prevent sticking. Remove the ginger slices. Add the salt and

garam masala to the dal. Stir to mix.

 

Heat the ghee in a small frying pan over medium heat. When hot, put in the

cumin seeds. A couple of seconds later, put in the garlic. Stir and fry until

the garlic pieces are lightly browned. Put the chili powder into the pan.

Immediately lift the pan off the heat and pour the mixture into the pot with the

dal. Stir to mix.

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 medium onions -- chopped

2 cloves garlic -- minced, up to 3

4 medium potatoes -- peeled and diced

4 medium carrots -- sliced

1/2 medium head cauliflower -- cut into bite-size pieces

2 cups frozen cut green beans

stew stand an hour or so before serving.

NOTES : This flavorful curry can be mild or hot, depending on how much spice you

use. Look for small okra of no more than 4 inches long--larger pods are usually

tough. We like the okra whole in this recipe, but you can halve them if you

prefer.

Panjabi Kali Dal (Lentil Stew)

 

Recipe By :Vegetarian Times Magazine, January 1996, page 41

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : 30 Minutes Appetizers And Snacks

Beans And Legumes Side Dishes

 

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon light olive oil with a dash of toasted

sesame oil

1 teaspoon garam masala

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon coriander seed

1/2 cup cooked kidney beans -- rinsed and drained

1 cup cooked garbanzo beans -- rinsed and drained

1/2 cup dried red lentils -- rinsed

2 cups water

Bouquet garni**

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

2 cloves garlic -- mashed, peeled and minced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 teaspoon salt -- (optional)

1/4 cup strained plain yogurt -- (see helpful hint)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

 

In a medium saucepan, heat half the oil. Add garam masala, cayenne, paprika,

turmeric and coriander. Mix to a paste. Stir beans and lentils into curry

paste; add water and bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 20

minutes. Remove bouquet garni.

 

In a small saute pan, heat remaining oil over low heat. Fry ginger and garlic

just long enough to release their aromatic oils, about 1 minute. Combine with

bean mixture; stir in cilantro. Remove 1/3 of bean mixture; set aside. Scoop

remaining bean mixture into food processor; puree. Mix reserved beans with

puree and add salt (if desired), yogurt and lemon juice. Garnish with cilantro

sprig. Serve with pita bread if desired. Makes 6 side-dish or appetizer

servings.

 

Helpful hint: To strain yogurt. Put 1 1/2 cups plain nonfat yogurt (made

without gelatin) in a fine-meshed wire strainer over a bowl or use a coffee

filter, piece of muslin or a paper towel and place in a small colander or sieve

over a bowl. Cover; let drain in refrigerator hours or overnight. After 10

hours yogurt becomes firm and small lumps disappear, which makes it ideal for

use in sauces. The liquid whey drains into bowl, leaving a thick, creamy yogurt

'cheese.'

NOTES : Treena and I have never had such delicious dal as at the New Delhi

Restaurant in San Francisco, and were eaten Indian food on four continents. Dal

is usually served as a side dish and sometimes as an appetizer. Not only is it

full of flavor, it is extremely nutritious and quite satisfying as a main dish

eaten with whole grain bread, such as chapatis or pita. Graham Kerr.

 

** made of 4 bay leaves, 6 green cardamom pods and 4 cloves
