Here's the lentil recipe. If you put alot of vegetables in it it drowns out the spices(you could try adding more but beware of imbalancing the flavor), but it's still pretty good. Next time i do it i might try using 1.5 cups tomato with 1.5 cups other veggies(the recipe calls for cauliflower, but last night i only had squash, mushrooms, a potato and a carrot and it turned out okayish). Use the freshest ingredients possible(fresh ginger and garlic).
1 Table spoon Olive oil
1 cup onion
1 table spoon fresh ginger, peeled, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon red peppers
4 cloves garlic
2 cups cauliflower(can be substituted with other flavor absorbing vegetables)
2 cups tomato
2.5 cups water
1 cup dried lentils
2 tablespoon lime
1 tablespoon cilantro, minced
Salt to taste
1. Heat Olive oil, add onion and first five ingredients(spices) and saute.
2. Add tomato and cauliflower, saute 1 minute.
3. Add water and lentils, bring to boil, cover and simmer.
4. wait for lentils to be done(no crunchy/hardness).
5. Add lime, cilantro and salt.
Serve on rice.
If anybody tries it let me know what you think, like I said I reccomend reducing the tomatos and cauliflower by half a cup or so. It's pretty much a "basic" indian recipe. Feel free to try different things when you got the skills/flavors down. I'd also reccomend adding the salt to taste rather than by recipe, because i can't remember if that's the right amount since i usually do it by taste.
After i cook some curries and get the best ones ill let you guys know. I have a few that seem like they'd be really tastey but i don't want to give out shitty recipes.
