Another really simple and very easy to make recipe. All my recipes that state curry powder, I use a Bassar mixture. You can get it ready made from most Asian supermarkets or make your own! I don’t know how to make my own so I buy ready made. The one I buy is quite spicy hence why I only use a bit. You can adjust the level of spiciness to your taste.<\/p>\n

Channa Daal with Boiled Rice<\/p><\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 250g channa daal, soaked in cold water overnight<\/li>\n
  • 1 onion, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp cumin seeds<\/li>\n
  • 1 tomato, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp ginger\/garlic paste<\/li>\n
  • 1.5 tsp curry powder<\/li>\n
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Method<\/h4>\n

    Fry the onion till golden with the cumin seeds. Add the chopped tomato, ginger\/garlic paste, tomato puree and curry powder. Fry for around 5 minutes. Add hot water if the spices start to stick to the pan, season to taste.<\/p>\n

    Drain the water off the daal and add it to the spice mix. Add enough cold water plus a little extra to cover the daal and cook for 30-45 minutes on a low heat. If the daal is too dry, add water accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
