gj, which dhal are u looking for?... dal makhni or dal tarka?... I can try to locate the recipes for u...
yes, let Kugan come back... I'll talk to her and then see what can be done for the indexing,...
Since this is very technical, I am not of much help here.Quote:

GJ, here's a dhal recipe which u might like...
Here is a Parsi dish called dhansak which is a very healthy & tasty curry tht goes well with rotis as well as rice...
Dhansak
1. cook 1/2 cup thuvar dhal+ 1/4 cup yellow moong + 1/4 cup channa dhal + 1/4 kg yellow pumpkin cut into big pieces + asafoetida+turmeric pwd for 3-4 whistles...
2. Grind 7 red chillies,1 tsp pepper, 1" cinnamon, 2 cardamom pods, 1 tsp each cumin & coriander seeds , 6-7 pods garlic & 1' ginger to a paste. In case u want to simplify the process, u can make a dry masala by grinding the dry masalas alone & gin-gar paste can be made when req. Increase the dry spice measures in that case.
3. Heat oil in a pan. Add 1 onion chopped & fry till brownish. Add in the ground paste & fry till raw smell diappears & the masala becomes flavourful... Add 2 chopped tomatoes & a small bunch of clean greens(u can use any one or a mix of these- mulai keerai, kaatu keerai, arai keerai, siru keerai, spinach , methi). If u r using methi, u neednt chop it. cook till the tomato breaksup & becomes mushy.
4. Add in the dhal mixture, salt & let it boil for 3-4 mins. Add water if req. The consistency of the dhal will be bit thick. Dosa batter consistency. Done.
Variation: u can use a mix of tomato & tamarind fr sourness or even tamarind alone. But i like mine with only tomatoes.
U can use masoor dhal or green moong or any of ur fav dhal tht'll cook within 3-4 whistles.
U can use any combination of vegs u like. brinjal,potato,carrot, raw mango etc can be used. But I ike the pumpkin dhansak...
Some more dhals that go well with rotis...
Dhal tadka:
Yellow moong dhal(roasted until slightly golden) and cooked just until done. make sure it is not all mashedup... just 1 whstle in thw cooker will do.
Heat oil. add jeera, green chillies and chopped onion. saute until golden.
Add gin-gar(paste or chopped very fine). saute well.
Add in chilly pwd, turmeric pwd and kitchen king masala. Saute for few secs. Don't burn the masala.
Add in tomatoes. Saute until pulpy.
Add the dhal, salt and let it come to a boil. this dish should be thick.
Garnish with cori leaves.
Methi dhal tadka:
Use dried methi leaves aka kasuri methi(crushed) -abt 2 tbsp for a cup of dhal. Add it along with tomatoes.
Garnish with ginger strips for this dhal.
Veg dhal:
In a pressure cooker,put any 1 veg(of choice-usually carrot,pumpkin,bottlegourd,greens are used) , y.moong dhal, onion n tomatoes chopped,gin-gar chopped, turmeric pwd, chilly pwd and cook till done(1 whistle). Let the steam settle and then mash the mixture roughly.
Make a tadka using jeera, chillies, curry leaves. take off flame and add KK masala. mix and pour into the dhal. Add salt and water(if req) and let it boil once. Done!!! IMO,this dhal tastes good only with KK masala.
Note:
Use garam masala if u don't have kitch king masala. But KK masala gives a flavour close to the restaurant ones.
U can use masoor dhal insted of moong or use a combi of both.
Use ghee instead of oil.
Does any one know how to make Quiche ? :roll:
Thanks Kugan for all your nice recipes.
I have cooked many of your dishes with success. We are all waiting for you.

My dear friends, I am back.
My flight was delayed for 3 hours. Sitting in the airport was a waste.
O.K my friends, I went to a house warming ceremony in India.
There they engaged a cook to cook all the dishes.
Apuram enna, I was tagging the cook all the time:-D
Got few recipes from him, not so ha, ha or ho, ho.
Anyway all tasted very nice.
I will soon cook and post the recipes.
Take care, Kugan98

Thanks and take care, Kugan98.
Rajraj uncle, where are you:roll:
Can you help us, you did before.:notworthy:
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
P.S Tamby, Quiche is nothing, but a pastry based filled with mixed vegetables
and baked. Before I used eggs to bind the vegetables.
Let me try a vegetarian version and post the recipe.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98

I am a computer illiterate, not much of a help to our beloved Dev.
It will take ages before the 6 threads are uploaded in the blog.
Moreover she has a family to look after.
I kindly hope, those friends who frequent the forum. and good in computer,
give our Dev a helping hand. If each of us take about 50 recipes,
we can do it earlier.
Please friends think it over and help us.
Thanks, and again 3 cheers for our Dev:cheer::cheer:
