How to make Dhal

[bastardfingers]

I agree with the butter! It does make this a full on winter filler with some seeded bread.

For lighter dhaal I begin with some hot oil and chuck in all the spices, using whole ones if poss, like coriander seed. Let them explode for less than a minute then pour the oil through a sieve over pre-cooked plain red lentils and stir in. Not as hearty so good as an accompaniment.

[mbcyclery]

your as beautiful as always... but i cringe when you use the knife to evacuate items from the board. i know using a pastry knife is one more thing to wash, but i get tired of dicing my ill-placed fingers.

[stupidlysmart09]

Wow, so I'm Sri Lankan, and the way you cook dahl is so different! I'm by no means an expert, but the way my mum taught me is that you don't put tomato, or stock, or butter. To get that thick, creamy consistency, you use coconut milk instead. Then again, perhaps yours is a healthier recipe! I'll have try this out and see what it takes like =)

[carolineartiss]

@stupidlysmart09 hiya, OK cool, your mum's way sounds fab too. There are so many different ways to make dahl, different lentils too. Some bigger lentils need to soak, but these ones I just rinse out and throw in, saves time and comes out great every time? I'm sure it will completely different to your mums but let me know if you like it. Can never have enough Dhal recipes!!! X

[thephantomsguest]

@carolineartiss most Sri Lankan's use coconut milk, just saying lol :p

Hey Caroline how you doing? Ohh Dhal my favourite. All I just need now is some roti canai. Do i need to soak them for a long time?

[joselitomarjarino]

Hi Caroline, I am very happy to see you in the kitchen once again because you are not the Queen of England lol, but the queen of the best chefs and world nay universal. You have your allies cooking your packs and it's saying something. It's a real alien dimension that is difficult to assess on the web. But I know that on the plate your dishes are delicious with love, I dream. Thank you again for this great sharing, friendships, Joselito
