Dhal & Rice with Fish<\/p><\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 200g Toor dhal, washed and soaked (if time permits)<\/li>\n
  • 1 onion, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1 tomato, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely crushed<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp turmeric powder<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp black pepper<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp chilli flakes<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp cumin seeds<\/li>\n
  • Salt to taste<\/li>\n
  • Boiled rice to serve<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Method<\/h4>\n

    Place the dhal with the onion, tomato and salt in a pressure cooker covered\u00a0with enough water\u00a0and cook for around 20 minutes. If you don’t have a pressure\u00a0cooker, you can make this in a standard pan but it will take longer for the dhal to cook. I put enough water to cover the dhal and a little bit extra on top. It is best to not put too much at this stage or you will end up with a thinner dhal. You can always thin it down if too thick but harder to do it the other way round!<\/p>\n

    Once cooked, blend the dhal with a hand held blender.<\/p>\n

    In a pan spray lots of frylight (or any other spray oil – count syns if needed). Add the garlic, turmeric, black pepper, cumin seeds\u00a0and chilli flakes and fry for about 3-4 minutes. Keep stirring so that the garlic doesn’t burn!<\/p>\n

    Add the blended dhal and check for seasoning. If needed, add boiling water to thin the dhal if too thick.<\/p>\n

    Serve with boiled rice and a speedy salad. We like to have fish with it too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
