[rec.food.recipes] VEGAN: Lentil Dal

cjackson@earth-edg.Prime.COM (Chris Jackson) (04/19/91)

  I used to live with a vegetarian who conjured up some amazing dishes,
this one being the simplest and one of the tastiest.  It goes well with
curry.

-   Boil some lentils (or split peas or whatever) until nice and mushy.

-   Separately,  fry loads of garlic (to taste) in a little oil.
-   Add garam masala,  paprika, ginger, chili powder, black pepper to
    oil in whatever quantity you'd like best (I like lots of garlic and
    garam masala with a fair bit of chilli for whack).

-   Then simply mix the two lots to form a rather unpleasant-looking
    gunge.

  It looks disgusting but it's damn gorgeous. It's also lethal for the
lower regions.

Chris.
