Alot of you might not know that im blessed to be part of a punjabi family, so when I went to visit a couple of weeks ago I took the opportunity to nick this fantastic recipe.
Now when you taste proper indian food its worlds apart from what we might get from a takeaway!!
This recipe for dhal is in 2 parts, the lentils and the Turka. The Turka gives amazing flavour and depth and can be used in any dish you might want to make.
So for the lentils
1 full cup of green lentils
1/2 cup black lentils
5 cups water
1 1/2 tsp fresh ginger
1/2 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp garam masala ( punjabi is best )
Cook altogether until lentils are soft.
While thats cooking make your Turka
In 2 tbsp oil fry
1/2 tsp cumin seed
1 chopped onion
Brown these then add
8 cloves garlic
1 chopped green chilli
1 tsp fresh ginger
1/2 tsp masala
1/2 tsp cumin powder
Chuck this into your soften lentils and season to taste.
Thanks for letting me take your recipe Pinks!! You are a star
Enjoy!!
