A nice easy recipe with a dhal like texture, no need to precook anything [big fat tick from me] and one you can sling in the slow cooker, forget about for several hours and then find you've got a tasty meal ready for you. There is no photo...it's not a culinary looker!
170g red lentils, 1 diced onion, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1/2 thumbed sized piece of root ginger [I used powdered as that what I had] peeled and finely grated, 1 tbsp garam masala, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 2 tbsp tomato puree, 1 can tomatoes, 200ml coconut milk, 200ml veg stock, salt & pepper.
Put all the ingredients into the slow cooker, season and cook on low for six hours.
Friday supper sorted! Even the chaps who are intensely suspicious if I try and sneak anything that might be dhal in under the radar wolfed this down.

Hi Aril,You have given me an idea of what to do for tomorrow nights supper...although I havent got any coconut milk,lol.But I will substitute it with something else I might come across when I am rummaging through the food cupboards.I have had a pack of red lentils for about a month now and wasnt to sure what to do with them...so now you have solved my problem!,Have a great weekend!,xx
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it! Arilx
DeleteEureka! And I have all the ingredients on the shelf, save the red lentils. Shall definitely give this a try, albeit with fresh, ripe Romano tomatoes from ye Victory Garden. Methinks this will freeze nicely!
ReplyDeleteYour victory garden sounds fab! Hope it's being really productive. Arilx
