Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 i made this last week and we really liked it. Masoor masala (spicy lentils) 1 cup whole brown lentils 4 cups water salt, to taste ½ teaspoon ground turmeric 2 medium onions, chopped finely 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons vegetable oil tiny pinch crushed asafetida (optional) 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 large tomato, chopped 5 to 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach (defrosted) wash the lentils, removing any broken pieces and debris. place the lentils and the water in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, and let soak for 1 hour. add the salt and turmeric, and cook covered over low heat until tender (about 30 minutes). meanwhile, in a small heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. add the asafetida (if used) and cumin. when the spices darken (1 to 2 seconds), add the chopped onions and garlic and cook until browned (8 to 10 minutes). add the coriander, cayenne, and tomato; cook until the tomato is soft (about 5 minutes). when the lentils are cooked, add the onion-tomato mixture and frozen spinach, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes (or until spinach is warm through). recipe adapted from: from bengal to punjab by smita chandra (the crossing press, 1991). _______________________________ Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 YES, we liked it!! Well, dh & I did. The kids weren't thrilled but the 4yo was way tired & the 7yo had already eaten at a friends house, lol. I doubled it. I used a 16 oz bag of spinach. So fast & easy!! Once the lentils had soaked, they only took 5 mins to cook. Do you know if it freezes well? We had plenty of leftovers. Thanks Susie!

The recipe you are looking for was only sent a couple of days ago - it is message Number 1387 sent on Tuesday 28 September. Please check the Messages. You can always do a search either by title or recipe or by number of message - or by the name of the person who posted it - or any such search. It would be appreciated if recipes were NOT repeated on the list and that requests were not made for them to be repeated. The recipe will be placed in the Files, in addition to being in the Messages archives, as soon as I have the time to do so. Thank you.
