"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."

Masurir Dal

 

Ingredients

3 cup water
1 cup red lentils
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 each bay leaves
2 each dried red chiles
1/2 tsp kalonji seeds
1 cup onion, thinly slivered
1 tsp green chile, chopped
1 tsp garam masala
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cilantro, chopped



 

Preparation

Bring water to a boil over medium heat & add lentils. Add turmeric &
simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender, about 15 minutes. They
are cooked when they easily break when pressed between the thumb &
index finger. Add salt & sugar. In a blender, puree until smooth.
Return to the pan & keep warm.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Fry bay leaves & red
chiles until the chiles darken. Add kalonji seeds & fry a few
seconds more. Add onion & fry until it darkens to a rich brown: do
not allow it to burn. If you have the heat nice & low, this should
take 15 to 18 minutes. Stir constantly. Stir in the green chile &
pour this mixture over the pureed lentils. Simmer for another 2 to 3
minutes.

Remove from the heat. Stir in the garama masala, lemon juice (or
lime if you prefer) & cilantro. Garnish with lemon wedges & serve
immediately.
