Carols Dal Curry

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 cups lentils, stones picked out and boiled until soft
    1 large yellow onion, chopped
    1 bunch cilantro, washe'd and well chopped
    1 large tomato
    1 can coconut milk
    1 can tomato sauce - medium size
    1 teaspoon freshly minced ginger
    1-1/2 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, a dash ground cloves
    salt to taste

Directions:

Cover bottom of saucepan with vegetable oil.  Fry onion about 5 minutes.  Add cilantro and continue frying over medium heat, until onion is golden.  Add tomato and let get a little soft.  Add rest of ingredients, including spices (add spices according to your taste!) and let simmer for about 30 minutes.  This is really tasty atop a bed of basmati rice.

Serves: 4-6

Preparation time: 1 hour


this is one of my favorite recipes!  i have made it quite a few times now and it satisfies any crowd.  i substitute low-fat organic coconut milk and add a tablespoon or two of mustard seeds when i fry the onions.

Easy and tasty!  I pretty much followed the measurements given.  I used red lentils as that was what I had.  The can of coconut milk I used was 13.5 oz.  I used 2 of the small 8 oz tomato sauce cans, for a total of 16 oz tomato sauce.  Next time, I'd add a little more heat/cayenne and fresh ginger.  I may also toy with the other spices a bit.  I might add another tomato, as well.  For this being such an easy recipe, I think it's quite good and open to some variation.

I really appreciate this recipe. I make my own version of a simple (and amazingly good) channa masala on a regular basis but have wanted to branch out to a dal recipe.

I love that this recipe is so flexible and you can add spices based on what you have. I used garlic along with the onions, ginger powder instead of fresh ginger, no cilantro, chili powder instead of cayenne, whole cloves instead of ground cloves and it was amazing.

AMAZING!  I loved it!  I've been trying different Indian dishes for a few weeks now and this is the one I was looking for.  I had no idea that the secret was coconut milk!

this had WAY more flavor that i thought it would, especially since it was a little thick and the lentils weren't cooking properly, so i kept adding water to it. i added the spices as recommended, and then added a tablespoon of mustard seed in with the onions,  some extra cayenne and a dash or two of garam masala.  next time i might add some garlic too, although i didn't really miss it.

yum yum yum...

This was delicious and easy to make, although it took a while to boil the lentils.

It was sooo good! Thanks for posting. I didn't use the cayenne because I didn't want it to be really spicy and I didn't really measure it out very well, I just went according to taste and it still turned out well. Once again, thank you!
