“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

Moong Dal

 

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup moong dal, roasted
1/2 cup water
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp turmeric
3 tbsp ghee
1 pinch cumin seeds
2 small bay leaves
2 each red chiles
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 1/4 tsp ginger, grated
2 1/2 tbsp raisins
1/4 cup coconut, fresh, chopped
1/4 tsp cardamom, ground
1/4 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp sugar
4 tbsp cilantro, chopped



 

Preparation

Wash dal & bring to a boil. Add salt & turmeric, remove any scum that
gathers on the surface. Cover & simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until
tender. (Mark's note: the recipe doesn't say, but I presume that it
is calling for split moong beans: whole ones take a whole lot longer
to cook than this).

Heat ghee in a large pot & add cumin seeds, bay leaves, chiles,
onions & ginger. Fry for 2 minutes, stirring. Add raisins & coconut
& mix in the cooked dal. Add the remaining ingredients & simmer over
low heat, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes. If the resultant dal is
too thick, thin it with a little water. It should be conssitency of
pea soup.
