Das hat Aparna heute gekocht!

Daal (mit grauen Linsen)

1 mittlere Zwiebel, gehackt
2 Knoblauchzehen, gehackt
2 Tomaten, kleingehackt
1 Tasse Linsen (gekocht)
2 TL Curry-Pulver
etwas Salz
1 TL Paprika (scharf)
1 Prise Zucker
etwas Limettensaft
3-4 TL Kurkuma
frischer Koriander zum Garnieren

Öl in die Pfanne, erhitzen, Knoblauch hinzufügen und anbräunen,
Zwiebeln dazu glasig dünsten, Tomaten hinzufügen und alles für
5 Minuten braten.

Curry, Salz, Paprika und Zucker zufügen und 10-15 Minuten auf
kleiner Flamme kochen bis sich das Öl absetzt und eine glatte
Konsistenz erreicht ist.

3-4 TL Gelbwurz hinzufügen und aufkochen.
Limettensaft dazu, mit frischem Koriander bestreuen und mit
Basmatireis servieren!

You can make it sweeter than i made it.

1. 2 tbsp basmati rice or any other rice
2. 1& 1/2 l milk
3. sugar to taste, think i used 2tbsp. if you want to make it really sweet , use 3 to 4. also brown sugar tastes better than white.
4. 12 raisins soaked in warm water , discard water before u add raisins in
5. 8 cashew nuts, broken into bits
6. 3 cardamom pods, coarsely ground.. discard husk, havent tried cinnamon, but you can experiment

wash the rice and put it in a pan, add the milk and cashew nuts. bring it to a boil and then simmer on a lowish heat. stir intermittently to prevent the pan from burning at the bottom. the milk should boil down to 1/2 the amount. take about 40 min approx.

discard thewater from the raisins and wash them again. this will get rid of the sourness which can curdle the milk. add the raisins to the pan along with the cardamom and sugar and cook for another 20 min or so.

von Aparna

1. one small cup of daal ( linsen)
2. two dried red chillis ( optional spice)
3. 2 tsp ‘paanch phoran’ which is available in Peter’s kitchen larder… top shelf
4.1 small onion
5. 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
6. 1/4 tsp sugar
7. salt to taste
8. 1 tbsp oil
7. 1 small tomato

Boil the daal in 3 cups of water or more till it is really soft and the seeds start disintegrating.. shd take about 20 min approx. the last 5 min, put in the sliced tomato.

slice the onions very fine and keep aside. heat the oil in a non stick pan till it is hot and add the panch phoran. it will splatter and give off the aroma of the spice. you can also add in 3 cloves to enhance flavour. dont let the spice burn, add in the finely sliced onion to the pan. lower the heat and saute the mmixture till the onions are soft and golden brown.

add the daal. then add the turmeric, salt and sugar. bring it to a boil and your daal is ready. You can add 1tbsp creme fraiche for added taste. garnish with corriander leaves.
