“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Dhal

 

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup brown lentils
3 3/4 cup water
1 tsp turmeric
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tbsp ghee
1 large onion, chopped
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 fresh cilantro sprigs (opt)



 

Preparation

Wash lentils in cold water.

In a saucepan, combine lentils, water, turmeric and garlic. Cover and
simmer 30 minutes or until lentils are tender. Uncover and cook 2-3
minutes to reduce excess liquid.

Heat ghee in a saucepan. Add onion and fry gently 5 minutes. Add Garam
Masala, ginger, coriander and cayenne pepper; cook gently 1 minute.
Add mixture to lentils and stir well. Garnish with cilantro, if
desired.

NOTE: For a less fiery flavor, reduce cayenne pepper.
