"This curry was like a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony that I'd once heard.....especially the last movement, with everything screaming and banging 'Joy.' It stunned, it made one fear great art. My father could say nothing after the meal."
Anthony Burgess

Where life is colorful and varied, religion can be austere or unimportant. Where life is appallingly monotonous, religion must be emotional, dramatic and intense. Without the curry, boiled rice can be very dull."
C. Northcote Parkinson

1 cup water
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1 tbsp ground coriander

2 tsp salt
6 tbsp ghee

kidney beans in a large pot. Add 4 cups of water &
bring to a boil. Turn off heat & let sit for 2 hours.
Add the onions, ginger, tomatoes, 1 cup water,
cardamom, coriander, pepper, salt & 6 tb ghee. Mix
well, bring to a boil & simmer for 4 1/2 to 5 hours.
Keep the heat very low so that you maintain a bare
simmer during the cooking period.

After cooking, remove 2 to 3 cups of the beans & blend
them till smooth. Return to the pot. Keep the dal on
a low simmer.

Heat ghee & add the cumin seeds when ghee is very hot.
After 10 seconds, add the minced onion & cook gently
for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over the dal
& mix in the coriander. Simmer till heated through.

Serve with Royal Vegetable & Rice Casserole.
