Whole Brown Lentils Curry ( Kale Masoor )

Masoor (brown lentils) are rarely used in Indian cooking. I never never thought they would taste this good before making this recipe. This recipe has some preparation time but its worth spending when you find the results at the end :).


Ingredients:  Serves: 4-6

1 cup of Whole Brown Lentil (kale masoor)
1 medium size very finely chopped Onion
2 tsp finely chopped Coriander
1 tbsp fresh grated Coconut
2-3 Garlic cloves minced
2-3 tsp Red Chili Powder
1 tsp Pav Bhaji Masala (optional)
1 tsp Saltless butter (optional)
1/2 Tomato diced
1 tsp Sugar
For seasoning: Oil, Mustard seeds, Cumin Seeds, Asafetida, Curry leaves

Method:

1. Heat oil in a pan and put mustard seeds in it. When they splutter add asafetida and cumin seeds.

2. Immediately add chopped onion and coriander together. Add sugar. Saute till onion shrinks/becomes transparent.

3. Then add garlic and coconut and saute again. Add red chili powder, Onion-garlic powder. Cook till the oil separate outs.

4. Then add the boiled masoor and tomato pieces into it and mix well. Add 1tsp pavbhaji masala and butter to get a nice flavour and let masoor cook for 5-8 minutes.


Tips:

You can also use garam masala powder instead of Pav Bhaji Masala.
But you can find any of these masala in any Indian Grocery store or here.

  31. Sayali, I did add onion and garlic (like in chopped onion and minced garlic), but not the onion and garlic powder you mentioned in your recipe. Thought, I will clarify :)

  33. Very nice! I made it today and my 15 month old thought it even looked yummy (or "ummy" in her words). She was beside herself with delight, lol! 'course, I didn't use coconut, garlic, curry leaves or butter in the recipe. I don't even think I stuck to the measurements. I just eyeballed the ingredient amounts. I just finished eating it. Yum-my.

    Sayali, I have an award for you waiting to be picked up from my space. Do drop by :)

  36. After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call him +2349055637784 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
