Introduction
A simple dal(Indian lentil stew). A simple dal(Indian lentil stew).Number of Servings: 7
Ingredients
-
3 cups water
1 cup red lentils(masoor dal)
1 onion, chopped
4 tsp ginger, finely minced
4 tsp garlic, finely minced
1/2 sweet potato, chopped*
1 plum tomato, chopped
2 tsp tumeric
3 tsp garam masala
1 bay leaf
2 tsp salt
1 package frozen spinach
1 tbsp butter
Directions
Makes approximately 7 1-cup servings.
Rinse lentils. Bring water to boil and add all ingredients except spinach and butter. Boil gently, stirring regularly(about every ten minutes) so that the lentils don't stick to the bottom and burn. After about 30 minutes, add the spinach(I don't even bother to thaw it). Then boil another twenty minutes, or until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until it melts. Serve over rice.
* I used the sweet potato this time, but don't actually recommend it -- I think it made it too sweet. Any vegetable can be easily added.
