Time 2h

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups split red lentils (masoor dal)
5 cups water
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin seed
2 -4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into fine slices
1/2 lb cabbage, cored and finely shredded
1 -2 hot green chili pepper, seeded and finely sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 medium tomatoes, peeled (or not)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated

Steps:

  • Pick over, wash, and drain the lentils.
  • In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring the lentils and water to a boil, skimming off any scum that rises to the top. Stir in the turmeric. Cover pot, with lid slightly ajar, and simmer over low heat for 1 1/4 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • While the lentils are cooking, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook for 3 to 4 seconds, then add the garlic. Once the garlic pieces start to brown, add the onion, cabbage and green chilies. Cook the cabbage mixture, stirring often, until it starts to brown. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt. Turn off the heat.
  • After the lentils have cooked for 1 1/4 hours, add and stir in the tomato, the ginger, and 1 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Add the cabbage mixture. Stir to mix and allow to simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reheat the cabbage.

RED SPLIT LENTILS (MASOOR DAL)

Indian-inspired lentils the whole family will love and babies, too. Once the dal and rice are at the desired consistency, it's ready to eat or freeze. Make sure mixture is completely cool before freezing. I use freezer ice trays and small individual glass bowls with lids.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup basmati rice
4 ½ cups water, divided
1 cup red lentils (masoor dal), rinsed
½ cup finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne powder
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon peeled, finely grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely grated

Steps:

  • Rinse rice in several changes of water and transfer to a container. Cover with water and let soak at room temperature, 15 minutes to 1 hour. Drain.
  • Combine 3 cups water with red lentils in a large pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, skimming any scum that collects on the surface. Stir in onion, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and turmeric. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir broccoli, tomatoes, peas, and salt into the pot. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until lentils are soft, about 30 minutes more.
  • Combine drained rice with remaining 1 1/2 cup water in another pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to very low and simmer, covered with a tight-fitting lid, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, ginger, and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour over lentils; stir to distribute. Cook lentils until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Serve lentils with rice.

MASOOR DAL (SPICED RED LENTILS)



Masoor Dal (Spiced Red Lentils) image

What I have come to understand is that how food looks as you prepare it can make as much difference to the cook as it does, on the plate, to the person who gets to eat it. When the skies are drab and life feels a little gray, I am absurdly cheered by the fresh brightness of a vibrantly orange dal, a red lentil stew spiced with turmeric, chili and ginger, and colored with sweet potatoes and tomatoes. Just seeing that mixture in the pan lifts my spirits. It helps that a dal is simple to make: a bit of chopping and the stew all but cooks itself. And it can be made in advance and then reheated, always a bonus. This dal makes a wonderful, exuberant partner to broiled salmon, but I love it without meat, too, when I partner it with my "bright rice."

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 1/2 cups (10 ounces, about 1 medium) finely diced sweet potato
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Thai or bird's-eye red chili
1 cup red lentils
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup canned chopped tomatoes
Salt
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Pieces of coconut flesh from a fresh coconut (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, heat oil, and sauté onion until softened. Add sweet potato, and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add minced ginger and garlic; stir, and reduce heat to low.
  • Finely dice chili, keeping seeds if you wish to add more heat. Add chili, lentils, coriander, cumin, turmeric and ground ginger to pan. Stir until lentils are well coated with oil. Add tomatoes and 4 cups water. Raise heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat until mixture is at a fast simmer. Cook uncovered until lentils and potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt, and continue to simmer until mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes. Whisk dal to amalgamate lentils and sweet potatoes. If dal is too soupy, increase heat and cook for a little longer.
  • To serve, place dal in a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. If desired, shave thin strips of fresh coconut on top. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect tadka, use a heavy-bottomed pan and heat the oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds before adding the garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Stir constantly and cook until the garlic and ginger are fragrant and the chilies are softened.
  • Add the lentils, cabbage, tomatoes, and water to the pressure cooker. Close the lid and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can simmer the lentils in a pot over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until tender.
  • Once the lentils are cooked, mash them slightly with a potato masher or the back of a spoon. This will help to thicken the dal and give it a creamy texture.
  • Stir in the tadka, coriander leaves, and lemon juice. Serve hot with rice or roti.

Conclusion:

Red split lentils with cabbage is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. The dal is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and the cabbage adds a crunchy texture and a boost of flavor. Serve with rice or roti for a complete meal.
