I love Indian Dal. I don’t have patience to make it. I want to share a recipe I made up last night which is my variation on Dal complete with greens to even out the meal:
1 cup (1/3 cup red, 1/3 cup green and 1/3 cup french) lentils (soaked 12 hours will reduce gas factor)
3/4 cup of Quinoa (not neccesary to soak)
2-3 handfuls mesculun salad greens or dark leafy greens of choice (braising greens best) in bite size pieces
1/3 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
2 cap fulls of yellow curry powder (roughly two tablespoons)
a few shakes of garam masala
1/2 inch slice of butter (omit if not consuming dairy)
1/4 teaspoon of sesame oil
Boil 2.5 cups of water. when boiling add lentils and cook 15 min on medium. Add quinoa and cook 10 minutes more until quinoa puffs up. In last 2 minutes of quinoa cooking add curry powder, greens and chicken broth. Stir a few times to incorporate flavors. Cover pot and let steam cook greens. After 2 minutes, stir again, add butter and/or sesame oil, remaining spices, salt and pepper to your taste and melt in butter. Simmer on low until all liquid absorbed or moist. Add more broth if starting to dry out. Serve immediately with lemon and chopped parsley or cilantro.
makes 2-3 servings
