You will use Masoor Lentils in this recipe. Wash the Masoor Lentils well in cold running water. If you see any stones, make sure you pick them out. You can find Masoor Lentils at your local Indian Grocers.
Tip: You always want to boil your lentils without salt so they cook faster. Salt tends to slow down the cooking process. Salt can be added at the end of the dish.
I started with:
1 cup of washed Masoor Lentils.
3 cups of water
1/2 medium onion chopped
1 green chili (serrano) sliced down the middle
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 cinnamon stick
I cooked the lentils on medium high heat for 15-20 minutes. I recommend you use a large deep frying pan or nonstick wok if you cook on high heat, otherwise it tends to boil over. If you only have saucepans, then cook on medium heat and keep an eye on it.
You will know the lentils are done when the water has cooked out and the lentils are soft and tender. The turmeric will give the lentils a sunny yellow color.
You can add salt here and 1 cup of coconut milk. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes longer. Serves 4-6 people as part of a meal. Enjoy.

Masoor dal is my favourite. It always tastes great. Sadly I dont know many ways to cook it..
ReplyDeleteHi Medeja. Masoor dal is very forgiving so you can play with the recipes. It's a very basic boil until it is done process so you can add whatever flavors or accents you want to it. I will post more recipes to come. : ) Hope you enjoy this simple basic recipe that I posted today. : )
