CookeD Dhal

Stove top cooked while preparing the vegetables

Heat a dutch oven. Add oil. When hot saute green chillies (2 min), add ginger and garlic.

Add salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, freshly ground pepper and cook (3 - 5 min)

Add main vegetables and cook (7 min)

Fold in the greens in three instalments

Add tomato (Wegmans Passata) and cook 3 - 5 min

The Dish

Season with mustard, cumin and asafoetida in butter (1 tablespoon)

Add herbs

squeeze 1 lime and stir

To make it vegan season with oil instead of butter. Actually one tablespoon of butter for almost a gallon of dhal should not be a problem. Butter adds an appetizing smell to the food.
