Shalini Sarda's Crispy Golden Fingers

Thu, 15 May 2003 20:09:44 -0400

This recipe was submitted by Shalini Sarda and was published in yesterday's issue of Thursday. It's the winning recipe for this week! The main ingredient here is split green gram dal which is my most favourite lentil of late;) I'll be giving this a try once I get back into the kitchen:) This looks very promising to me and is a good appetiser for a party or get together as well. Plus, it's high in proteins since the main ingredient here is a lentil:) Nice way to sneak protein into the diet! -- posted by Charishma Ramchandani

Moroccan Lentil Salad (Healthy)

Thu, 24 Jul 2003 20:00:04 -0400

Oh, yum, yum...I bought a big bottle of whole cloves at Sam's a while ago and found this recipe to use them. It is fantastic. I pretty much followed it exactly, except for the garlic change. I also added two diced Roma tomatoes. It is very healthy--low fat, with only 2 tsp olive oil!!--and authentic-tasting. -- posted by spatchcock

Red Lentil and Vegetable Stew

Fri, 30 Jan 2004 20:01:25 -0500

Wonderful stew, can be a vegetarian meal on its own. Or you can add some diced or shredded smoked duck, if you like meat. The red lentils break down, and cause this to be like a really rich soup. If you need to stretch this out, you can serve it over white rice, to do a sort of "beans and rice" thing. -- posted by "Pink Eyed" Jim Cortina

Curried Lentil Soup with Carrots

Sun, 01 Feb 2004 20:00:20 -0500

I love the spices in this. Just a little bit hot, with the flavor of curry that I love. It warms me up inside. I'm always watching my pepper plants which I brought indoors over the winter to see if they have a few peppers on them to put in something like this. My Thai dragon plants have been giving me peppers all along (with a little help!) When I run a little low, I like to visit the Asian grocer for a big pack of green chillis (which are almost just as good), but I like the red ones best. -- posted by Sue L

Lenten Lentils, Oaxacan-Style

Sun, 29 Feb 2004 19:59:43 -0500

Chilled Lentil Salad with Spicy Vinaigrette

Thu, 01 Apr 2004 20:00:17 -0500

This is a great salad to serve to guests; it can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge until serving time. Watch the lentils very carefuly while cooking them, you don't want them to overcook and lose their texture and shape. Chill time (1-2 hours) is not included in prep and cook time. -- posted by Hey Jude

Dal and Rice With Spicy Fried Cabbage

Thu, 11 Nov 2004 20:00:35 -0500

I've been reading books by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and giving myself Indian food cravings, so I went to the cupboard and came up with this easy, yummy dish. Warning: this is fairly spicy (but not burn-your-tongue-out spicy). If you like it less spicy, reduce the amounts of seasoning and garlic dramatically. Substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth to make it vegan. -- posted by ketchupqueen

Puneri Dal (Yellow Lentils Pune-Style)

Wed, 02 Feb 2005 20:01:49 -0500

This dal, much prized by Puneri Brahmins in Maharashtra, is sweet and fragrantly spicy, with a slightly sour undertone. Kokum, one of the ingredients, is a local sour fruit which has been dried, and it gives southern Indian food a distinctive flavour. It is often available from Indian groceries, but tamarind paste is an acceptable substitute. Asafoetida is a gum resin prized as a condiment in India. It is also known variously as 'devil's dung' and 'food of the gods'! It has a strong sulphur smell prior to cooking, but thereafter has a pleasant aroma. Asafoetida is a useful antidote for flatulence, and is thus incorporated into many Indian lentil dishes! Goda Masala is a Maharashtrian spice blend. I have posted the recipe for it separately (see recipe #109909). -- posted by Daydream

Sambhar

Sun, 03 Apr 2005 08:44:04 -0400

Yummy South Indian lentils and vegetables, a favourite Indian breakfast dish with idli (rice dumplings) or dosai (Indian pancakes). This recipe is not at all difficult - just assemble all the prepared ingredients before commencing to cook, and take one step at a time. I prefer to use freshly grated coconut, but unsweetened dried coconut is perfectly acceptable. Sambhar masala can be obtained from an Indian grocer, or make your own from recipe #110487 (much more fun!). I make this Sambhar with Toor dahl, and eat it with rice for the main meal of the day. -- posted by Daydream

Rice and Lentil Soup or Stew

Mon, 25 Apr 2005 15:06:49 -0400

This thick, hearty soup is started with the trilogy of onions, celery, and carrots are sautéed before adding the liquid as to bring out there sweetness. Made with a nice meaty ham bone for lots of flavor. A chipotle pepper in adobo sauce for a nice spiciness. -- posted by ~Rita~

Coconut Channa Dal

Sun, 01 May 2005 18:36:37 -0400

Posted in response to a request. Channa dal, also called Bengal gram dal, is related to chickpeas, but is smaller and split. It has a sweet, nutty flavour, and a low glycemic index. Looking just like yellow split peas, it is the most popular dal in India. This recipe produces a mild-tasting dal, which goes beautifully with Lemon Rice with Dals #84304. Please only use fresh or frozen curry leaves, not dried :-) -- posted by Daydream

Lentil Dhal With Roasted Garlic

Wed, 01 Jun 2005 11:35:45 -0400

This is a variation of Tarka Dahl, a North Indian dish of yellow lentils seasoned with garlic and spiced oil. Although this recipe contains a whole head of garlic, do not be concerned about the garlic being overpowering - it acquires a lovely mellow flavour when roasted. I find it quite delicious. In regard to spiciness, though, to my taste this recipe is quite mild - next time I will include the white inner flesh and seeds of the chili, but you can remove these if you prefer. Incidentally, if you ever take a mouthful of something that is overwhelmingly hot, dont rush for water the best remedy is milk, vinegar, or alcohol! Accompany this dish with rice or Indian bread, and a vegetable dish. -- posted by Daydream

Indian Lentil Soup (Dal Shorva)

Fri, 05 Aug 2005 08:49:56 -0400

An inexpensive, easy-to-make and delicious soup. This slightly modified recipe stems from Mumtaz Khan at Mumtaz Paan House in Bradford, England. Mung beans is the exquisite choice, but red or yellow lentils also make a delicious result (green lentils are not recommended). The chicken stock can be replaced with vegetable stock for a vegetarian variety. -- posted by André Grisell

Malaysian-Indian Dalcha

Tue, 20 Sep 2005 10:01:59 -0400

This recipe originates from South India and was taken by Muslim immigrants to Malaysia. It is a wonderfully warming and nourishing lentil and vegetable curry with a tantalising flavour, but with such a long list of ingredients, I fear that few will attempt to make it. Pottering around in the kitchen preparing, then eating, this, is my idea of heaven, and I love to serve it to guests. The original recipe suggests using half and half toor (toovar) and chana dal, but I prefer to use a greater proportion of toor dal. It is possible to use Australian yellow split peas in place of the dals. Adjust the number of chillies to suit your taste. -- posted by Daydream

Lamb and Lentil Curry

Thu, 22 Sep 2005 19:00:17 -0400

Found this on the net, and after a few alterations (lamb chops rather than shanks, less cinnamon sticks) and a lot of editing to the recipe, I made this for dinner. It's great. Quick to make, but a really nice flavour and texture to the sauce. -- posted by JustJanS

Bengali Sweet and Sour Lentils

Sat, 08 Oct 2005 16:11:11 -0400

Curried Lentil Soup

Sun, 18 Dec 2005 15:38:05 -0500

This is my version of a very tasty soup recipe that was in the local newspaper. It's a good idea to make the vegetables all about the same size dice, they cook evenly that way. I used half chicken stock and half water, but I'm sure that vegetable stock would be great too that way the soup could be kosher and or vegetarian! -- posted by s-t

Creamy Tomato and Lentil Slow Cooker Soup

Thu, 29 Jun 2006 09:20:05 -0400

a spicy soup based on a Breville recipe in the slow cooker's sample recipes. I have modified this a bit - see which version you prefer.Originally it included 4 cloves garlic, 3 tsp minced chilli and you stirred 1/3 cup sun dried tomato pesto through at the end. I found this too hot. Even this version is fairly spicy but yummy! Next time I make it I will leave out the chilli altogether and just add sun dried tomato pesto. -- posted by maggie in australia

Winter Squash, Chickpea & Red Lentil Stew

Sat, 17 Mar 2007 00:06:54 -0400

Inspired by the flavors of North Africa, this vegetarian stew replaces the tagine with the crock pot. The combination of saffron, ginger and cinnamon give of a wonderful aroma and flavor. It would tempting to substitute canned chickpeas here but you will get a different result. In this dish the chickpeas while tender have greater firmness than the canned type. Time saving tip: Prepare the ingredients the night before, placing the cubed squash, carrots, onions, tomato paste, garlic and ginger in one sealable bag or covered container, the lentils and dried spices in another. In the morning add the contents of both bags/containers, the soaked chickpeas and broth to your crock pot, turn it on and go. -- posted by justcallmetoni

I've never cooked with lentils before. I started out making a curried lentil salad base, refrigerated what I'd done, then decided to changed the recipe into burgers. These have a lot of flavour and a nice texture. They're quite versatile too. I was low on breadcrumbs and had no eggs.

Spicy Lentil-Coconut Curry/Soup

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 22:14:53 -0400

This is a modification of a soup recipe I learned in a vegan cooking class. I've tinkered with it quite a bit over the years, and it's quite different from the original now. It can be made as a curry or a soup, depending on the amount of liquid used. When I make it as a curry, I often double this recipe and serve it over recipe #284073. Use onion if you can't find fennel, or to ramp up the spiciness. To prepare fennel bulbs, cut off stalks and strip outer layer off bulb before chopping. Freezes well. -- posted by MN_SpiceHunter

Vegetarian curries are a great way to get the whole family to eat their five-a-day. You can use almost any veg, so add all their favourites. As well as the protein and iron in the lentils, the vitamin C in the veg helps the body absorb the iron. This is very simple to prepare - but you can make it even easier by using frozen veg. -- posted by English_Rose

Veggie Lentil Chili Non Carne!

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 01:31:44 -0400

Not everyone wants to use minced beef or Quorn mince for a chili, so here's a version that uses Puy-style lentils. It's also a great way of using up (or disguising!) winter root vegetables. t's scrummy enough to get past some of the most devout meat-eaters I know, so why not give it a go, served with brown rice? Mix in a couple of tablespoons of natural yoghurt, if you want a less spicy version or if the chili is too hot. -- posted by English_Rose

I can't remember where I got the beginning of this recipe but I have adapted it so much I don't think it would be recognized anymore. I make this in a crock pot but it could be made in an oven in a covered dish at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I've never tried making it on low heat so I don't know how long for that. -- posted by ReLiveLY

Sweet & Spicy Chili

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 09:48:12 -0400

I first came upon if from a friend and have since added my own personal touches and added to my taste. My son says this should be in a chili cook off. And he hates everything LOL. -- posted by Chef #701578

Moroccan Tomato Lentil Stew (Soup)

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 21:53:13 -0400

I always get great feedback from friends with this soup - tis my signature dish!!! The spice amounts are for a mildish soup. Add more if you like it spicy. To save time, use 2 cups of tomato pasta sauce with the soup stock as the base (instead of the leek, tomatoes etc) -- posted by Mellowpuff

Kali Dal (Dahl, Dhal, Daal)

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 01:17:51 -0500

Matt makes this yummy dal from a book called A Little Taste of India. It is similar to Dal Makhani, so if you like that you should like this, too. It has great authentic flavour. We use ghee for the oil, but we'll leave it up to you. -- posted by Rhiannon&Matt.gauci

Spicy Root Vegetable & Lentil Casserole

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 23:26:26 -0500

I am collecting recipes for my New Year venture back into a largely vegetarian diet. This looks like something my husband and myself will enjoy so I am sticking it here for safe keeping. I found it in the 2008 copy of the yearly 'Vegetarian Christmas' special put out by BBC Good Food Magazine. You can pick the heat of curry paste or powder that will suit your family. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Vegetarian Harira

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 19:42:05 -0500

Harira is the Moroccan soup served daily to break the sunrise-to-dusk fasting period during the month of Ramadan, the Muslim holiday. This vegetarian version offers a healthier option to those who chose to not eat meat. You can also add a small amt of pasta, such as angel hair or vermicelli broken into small pieces, if you wish. -- posted by Celticevergreen

Spiced Lentil Tacos (Vegetarian)

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:00:15 -0500

This is a great recipe for those who want a vegetarian meal without fake "meat". This delicious and simple recipe is from Chef Jennifer Iserloh of New York City (aka "Skinny Chef") and was printed in this month's Self Magazine (February 2009). Following the recipe results in an al dente lentil with a little chew to mimic the texture of ground beef. If you want a softer lentil, you can cook them about 15 minutes longer (in step 1) with added broth until soft. -- posted by blucoat

Curried Lentil Soup

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 17:50:52 -0400

I love making this soup. After the prep. you can leave it and let it cook until you are ready for lunch or whatever. I usually serve chapatis or pita with this. -- posted by Leah's Kitchen

Refried Lentils

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 10:02:28 -0400

Threw this together one day when I had nothing in the fridge (save condiments). Lentils cook much, much quicker than dried pintos, and have more protein and fiber. I used my mini-slow cooker, but can be made in a pot on the stove top. Makes 2 servings for a main course with tortillas or chips, 4 servings as a side. -- posted by catwolf

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:51:51 -0500

I found this in the November 2009 issue of Alive magazine, I made this tonight and was blown away. Very tasty, very healthy and total comfort food on a cold winter night! It's fairly easy and quick to make and will make 4-6 good-sized bowls so everyone can cuddle up with one :) -- posted by Chef Kirsten (#1!)
