Dal - Khatti Dal (Sour Lentils)
- 1 C. yellow lentils (toor dal)
- 1.5 t. tumeric
- 1 t. green chili or jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 1.5 t. salt
- 1/4 C. tamarind concentrate or 1/2 T. lime juice
- 2 T. neutral oil
- 1 t. mustard seeds (black)
- 1 t. minced garlic
- 12 curry leaves (optional)
- 3 T. chopped cilantro
- 1. Combine dal, tumeric, chili, salt and 4 cups of water in large saucepan and bring to boil. Adjust heat so the mixture bubbles aggressively and steadily and cook, uncovered, for 25 minutes.
- 2. Add the tamarind concentrate and 1/2 cup additional water, and let bubble for another minute. Turn off heat. Use an Indian methane to puree the dal for about 1 minute; the dal should be saucy but not soupy.
