No garlic??

Thank you! I just made the best Dal Tarka ever. The wooden churning device was very easy to use and made all the difference as far as the texture (I found mine at Patel Bros in Jackson Heights, I think any Indian market that sells kitchenware would have it).

WOW!!!

I'm not intimidated.  Why? I was just wondering where I could get one. I don't remember seeing it at the local Patel Bros.

Thanks Hema, i have been hearing from both sides of the isle. I teach Indian cooking to mostly non-Indians, I tell them to give daal a good stir with a heavy spoon which works quite well! And thank you for reading my blog.

Where's the Recipe for this?

[Rashmis Recipes]

I grew up in North India, never saw anyone churning Daal like that, this is ridiculous and will intimidate a non-Indian cook for sure. I just use a heavy spoon and STIR IT. Besides, most Indians cook Daal in a pressure cooker.
