I have got just the right Dal recipe for your week I have got just the right Dal recipe for your week night meal. Mosur ( or masoor) dal cooked with Bengali Panch Phoron ( 5 spice mix) and curry leaf. Now curry leaf is not really part of Bengali cuisine ( correct me if I am wrong) but I have adopted it at home and cook various Bengali food with curry leaf. It gives a lovely twist to our every day meal. This dal had a depth of smell which was perfect accompaniment with my rice and fried salmon. Give this a try and let me know if you liked it How I cooked: Masoor dal ( not measured ) washed Two tomatoes sliced 1 teaspoon of panch phoron ( mixture of cumin, nigella seeds, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds in equal parts) Some curry leaves 2 dry red chilli Turmeric Salt Oil Water 1. Boil the dal with water, salt n turmeric 2. Once almost boiled add the tomato and add more water. Boil till fully done. 3. Check for consistency. I like thick Dal. If you want more watery add more water and cook 4. In a pan heat oil, add dry red chilli and add panch phoron. Once the the aroma releases add the curry leaves 5. Now add the whole thing to the dal. This process is called giving’ sombar’ to Dal in Bengali. Cook the dal for another 5 mins and it’s done 6. Serve with rice/Ruti etc.. it is a good source of plant based protein. You can add vegetable to this Dal to make it one pot . You can cook it without the curry leaf too which I do all the time actually. Curry leaves were just a one off and it tasted .. well.. new! And amazing ! #dal #mosurdal #bengalifood #vegan #plantbased #mealprep #dinner #foodporn #britainsbesthomecooks_ #instafood #foodiesofinstagram #foodie #londonfood #londonfoodie #eathealthy #bangali #bengalifoodinlondon #kolkatafoodies #kolkatagoodblogger #gharkakhana #indianfood #indianfoodbloggers #indianfoodie #curryleaf #supperclubhost

Thank you Priya @priyadeccantiffin for the lovely reminder of a favourite dal and the amazing recipe. This reminds me of delhi days when this was a luxury- eating out meant eating at dhaba and eating this dal. Pocket friendly for a student, delicious and warm. This is also very healthy. #dal #wholemasur #brownmasoordaal #malkamasoor #indianfood #northindianfood #homemade #dinner #pulse #vegan #plantbased #foodiesofinstagram #londonfoodie #homechef #goodfood #goodfoodindia #globalfood #eeeeeats #globaleats #britainsbesthomecooks_
