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
2-3 bulbs of garlic chopped
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 .
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 ,
 garnish with chopped coriander .


7. Take the pot of the stove . Serve your " AWESOME DHALL CURRY " 

with rice , bread , pasta , oats , or whatever that comes to your mind . Enjoy !


* You can also add potatoes, brinjals, radish ( lobak putih )
 to this dhall for a complete healthy meal . 
To make it spicier , put more dried chillies or fry 1-2 tbsp of chilli powder 
in the pan before putting it into the curry .
