Oh yes, look like only...
So I have no excuse. We love to eat!
So here's my fabulous Homestead Dhal recipe: for four very hungry persons:
You will need:
500g yellow split peas
salt
garlic
hot curry spice mix
oil (I use sunflower oil)
flour
water
onions
Put the yellow split peas in water and leave them to rest for some hours (even for a night). Wash the peas very well, and put them to boil in abundant clean cold water. Put salt, curry and garlic in. (I used 6-7 garlic cloves because I love the taste, each one cut in 2-3 pieces.) Then leave it to cook slowly, until the peas become softer and start to come apart overcooked.
Put 2-3 spoonfuls of flour in a mug, put cold water slowly on it and stir very well with an egg-beater. Watch out, because it gets lumpy easily!
When it's homogeneous, pour it very slowly into the dhal, while stirring it continuously. You should come to Dreamers' Homestead so I can teach you this movement, so basic in Hungarian kitchen.
Keep stirring (watch out, it burns easily because of the flour), and bring the whole thing to boil once more, and it's finished.
I'm used to eat it with some fried onion, and with bread. I cut the onions to small pieces, and simply fry them in oil until they become a bit softer. After it got a little bit colder, I put - you would never imagine what - Hungarian spice pepper, paprika in it and mix until the paprika melts. I put the oily onion pieces on the top of the dhal. Ready!
Enjoy this Indo-Hungarian dish!
P. S.: Oh, and watch out... it creates a lot of erm......... wind.
