Nancy, 

I am pretty sure Fred doesn't agree with you! 

Dahl (feeds 20)

3 1/2 cups yellow split peas (in India it's called Channa Dahl)

14 cups filtered water

1 onion finely chipped

1/4 cup olive oil

4 tsp tumeric powder

1 1/2 tbsp mustard seed

1 1/2 tbsp cumin seed

1 tbsp salt

1/2 tbsp black pepper

1 tsp curry powder

Rinse and cover peas with eater

Fry mustard & cumin seed til they pop

Add onion

Add some water

Cover, cook 5 mins

Add rest of peas w/ water, salt & pepper to taste

Return to heat, simmer on low, careful to avoid burning the bottom.

Some people like to skim off the foam. 

Remove from heat.

Add chopped tomato, lots of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime

Serve with brown rice

 

Dahl is a lentil-based yummy dish that Lynette made while staying at Ron's (which is why she thought it might still be in his fridge), but  which migrated south to our house when she came for her Manchaca stint. No need to develop a taste for it. It's tasty from the first bite. We haven't eaten so well here since she left.
