Dry Lentil Curry - Fast and Easy Indian Cooking p. 88
« on: October 17, 2011, 07:09:46 am »
Love this!  It's not dry, but not soupy.  Can double easily or maybe combine TMX and slow cooker.
Will make this again.

Yep, it's a good consistency, isn't it Denzelmum?  Great with Naan or chappattis.

moo, it's called "dry" as so many traditional dals are soupy.  It is a paste type consistency, but that doesn't sound that nice!

I was "tricked" with the name as well, as Lelly mentioned other dahl on the book are very soupy.

Have made this twice recently. We found it too bland so doubled all the seasonings. My friend has lived and worked overseas so had had locally made versions. she thought it eas the right consistency, just not spicy enough.

 It was so good I remade it for a quick lunch today.

Cookie, I have scribbled in the book and I think this is what I did. I added extra chillies (my friend added them, think ended up with 3 or 4), another clove of garlic, doubled the ginger, corriander and  cumin. It was quite spicy,but we are getting very used to spices..

The Dahl wa soaking for a couple of hours, not the 20 mins ( not planned, just run out of time) and we finished cooking it when it still had shape and was al dente.

I will have to make this again, it really was good  ;D

I've made this a few times as well - actually, I am just finishing off a batch at the moment.  It always turns out well, but perhaps a few extra spices would make a difference if you are used to them.  I use a 400 g tin of chopped tomatoes so that it is just a bit wet, but not soupy.
