EASY DHALL CURRY ...
My darling friends have been asking me dhall curry for ages .
SO, today I'm gonna show how I make dhall curry , so that you can all make it .
Let your creativity and taste.measurements are just an estimation ) -
1 pot , 1 pan , 1 ladle or maybe 21 cup of dhall ( Гopox ) - or as much as you like1 tsp of turmeric powder
1 pot , 1 pan , 1 ladle or maybe 21 cup of dhall ( Гopox ) - or as much as you like1 tsp of turmeric powder
2-3 bulbs of garlic chopped
1/2 inch of ginger sliced
1/2 inch of ginger sliced
3 tbsp of oil2 tbsp of mixed Indian spices - optional( from Malaysia , At the moment I kinda forget what they are called - mustard seed , cinnamon stick , cardomon ,and some other stuff )3 dried chillies ( & some fresh chillies , if you want too , fresh chillies are very expensive in Moscow so I don't use them )
1 big onion cut as you like it
2 tbsp of tomato paste or 2 fresh tomatoes cut
1 tbsp of cumin powder1 tbsp of coriander powdersalt to taste some fresh coriander
Method -
1. Wash the dash & soak the dhall in a dish with cold water , overnight ,or if not, for a few hours. The water should be covering the dhall .If you don't have the time to soak them , you can boil them when you are cooking it but it would take a longer time to cook . By soaking , the beans ( dhall ) will be softer & faster to cook .
3. When you think that the dhall is cooked , prepare another pan .
5. Later on , add tomato paste or fresh tomatoes , cumin powder ,
7. Take the pot of the stove . Serve your " AWESOME DHALL CURRY "

Method -1. Wash the dash & soak the dhall in a dish with cold water , overnight ,or if not, for a few hours. The water should be covering the dhall .If you don't have the time to soak them , you can boil them when you are cooking it but it would take a longer time to cook . By soaking , the beans ( dhall ) will be softer & faster to cook .
2. Boil water in a big pot ( enough water to cover the dhall ). Add in the dhall , turmeric powder and 1/2 of the chopped garlic & let it cook for 30 minutes up to 1 hour till the dhall gets soft . You may cover the pot , but make sure the cover has a hole where the pressure from inside the pot can get released by itself . To check if the dhall is cooked , try taking 1 biji dhall and pinch it with your nails.
If it feels soft & it breaks , it's cooked . While the dhall is boiling you may notice white foamy material building up on the top part , just remove it . [ Use medium fire - be careful , there might be spillage of the foamy material ]
3. When you think that the dhall is cooked , prepare another pan .
Put oil in the pan & heat it up. Then , add in - the Indian spices ,
dried chillies, ginger , garlic & fry . Be careful not to burn them .
Once you get the aromatic smell of the spices ,
add the onions & fry till the onions are light brown. [ Use medium fire ]
4. Now you have a big pot with dhall ( it might look like dhall soup by now )
and a pan with the fried stuff , right ?
So , next , add the fried stuff from the pan into the pot with dhall.
Let the admixture simmer a bit .
The dhall should look soft maybe slightly squashed up like by now . [ Use medium fire ]
5. Later on , add tomato paste or fresh tomatoes , cumin powder ,
coriander powder and salt to the dhall curry.
Bring it to boil . Taste & modify the taste by adding more tomato
paste/fresh tomatoes , coriander powder , cumin powder or salt
if you are unhappy with the taste .
6. After the modifying and tasting session ,
give a pat on your back for being succesful
in making dhall curry . If you want to make it better ,
