Looking for the best comfort food that won't make you fall over from a carb coma? Chef Michael Smith has the answer! Join along and cook up this perfect blend of Indian influenced ingredients to make the best Red Lentil Curried Dahl you've ever tasted!
Ingredients
2 cups (500 mL) basmati or any white rice
3 cups (750 mL) water
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
¼ cup (65 mL) butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tbsp (15 mL) cumin
3 Tbsp (45 mL) curry powder
6 cups (1.5 L) water
2 cups (500 mL) red lentils
2 Tbsp (30 mL) frozen ginger, freshly grated
1 cup (250 mL) cilantro, freshly chopped or whole, for garnish
Directions
1) Cook rice according to directions. Begin dhal by tossing butter into a medium saucepan over medium heat, swirling gently until it melts and begins to steam and foam. Watch butter as foam subsides and the butter begins to brown. Continue swirling pan gently, watching the color until it becomes golden brown and fragrant. Immediately toss in chopped onions, lowering temperature.
2) Stir cumin and curry powder into onions and butter. Continue stirring for a few minutes as spices heat through. Add water, lentils, and ginger to the pot. Bring sauce pan to a full boil then lower heat to maintain a slow, steady simmer.
3) Continue cooking until lentils are soft, about ten minutes. The lentils will soften into a chunky delicious puree. If you prefer a smoother sauce, feel free to puree further with an immersion blender, in a stand blender, or in food processor.
4) Spoon dhal over cooked rice, garnish with fresh cilantro, serve and share!
