I tried Dal from this place and I was amazed. It was so good that I wanted to try and some time later I found this recipe. I failed miserably. Again I tried last week using a different recipe, that doesn’t looks like very authentic after reading others but still I went for it.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup of lentils put in water the night before
- 1 can of beans (mixed, kidney, etc)
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic chopped
- 1 tbsp ginger grated
- 2 tbsp medium curry powder
- ping of chilli paste.
- 75g butter
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- salt, pepper
- 150g spinach
- 3/4 cup of rice + 1 star anise
Process:
- Put same amount of rice and boiling water in a pan at medium heat. Put the star anise in the middle.
- After a couple of minutes reduce to low heat the rice. Dont stir and check from time to time to avoid getting burn.
- In a medium-heat frying pan, put half of butter, onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder and chilli paste. Cook until the onions are soft.
- Pour the coconut milk and tomatoes, season with salt/pepper. Bring to boil and then to simmer.
- Add beans, lentils and remaining butter. Simmer for 30 minutes or so.
- Taste it! When ready, add the spinach and stir.
- Ready to eat with the rice!
