“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

Masala Dal

 

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup yellow split peas
1/3 tsp turmeric
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup ghee
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/4 tsp red pepper
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves



 

Preparation

Wash peas well. Place in a bowl, cover with hot water & let sit for
an hour. Drain. Place in a large pot, add 4 1/2 cups water & throw
in the turmeric. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat
to medium low, partially cover & simmer for 45 minutes. Remove from
heat, beat with a wire whisk till the mixture is finely pureed. Stir
in salt & set aside.

When ready to serve, simmer puree over low heat till piping hot. Heat
ghee in a skillet over medium high heat. When very hot, add cumin
seeds & fry for 10 seconds. Lower heat, add onions & fry for 20
minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Stir in red pepper
& immediately pour in to the puree. Garnish with coriander.

Serve with a potato dish, rice & bread.
