Exciting vegetarian Indian dhal recipe for hassle-free catering.
Ingredients:
  • 200g toor dhal (yellow lentils, see note)
  • 200g masoor dhal (red lentils, see note)
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp asafoetida powder (optional, see note)
  • 42.00 gm lime juice
  • 50g ghee (see note)
  • 1 large onion, very finely chopped
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp brown mustard seeds
  • 12 fresh curry leaves (see note)
  • 40.00 ml chopped coriander
Instructions:
  • Wash lentils under cold water. Combine in a saucepan with 1.25 litres (5 cups) water, turmeric, optional asafoetida, 2 tsp sea salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 30 minutes until thickened. (Red lentils will soften while yellow lentils retain some texture.) Off heat, mix in lime juice.
  • In a pan over medium heat, melt ghee and sauté onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add seeds and cook until they pop. Carefully add curry leaves (they will splutter) and sauté for 30 seconds. Combine with lentils and coriander, then serve.
