- If you like Dal, you'll love this! It's very easy, quick and lowfat too!
-
- 1 c red lentils
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 t cumin
- 1/4 t coriander
- 1/4 t turmeric
- 1/4 t cayenne (optional, does not make it very hot though)
- 1/4 t black mustard seet
- salt to taste
- 3 c water
- 1/2 t (or less) canola oil
-
- Rinse lentils and bring to a boil in 3 cops water. Reduce heat and
- cover. Cook for 30-40 minutes until lentils are very soft, the
- consistency of thick soup.
-
- Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt and cayenne. Allow to simmer
- uncovered while preparing garlic and mustard seeds.
-
- In a small frypan, heat oil to med hi. Mince garlic and saute in oil
- with mustard seeds until just beginning to brown. Add to dal and serve
- immediately. For those of us in coastal California, this is very easy
- and tastes great with frozen fatfree Indian rice at Trader Joe's.
