After a hideous unexplained stomach ache last night, I decided it was time for spring cleaning. I'm trying out a new (to me) 7-day herbal detox from GNC. Starting tomorrow night! But the nutritional plan begins this evening with vegetarian Indian food. Yellow Dahl and Basmati Rice! This is a fancy Basmati blend from a local CT company called Boxed Goodes. Reviews will follow tomorrow!
I found the following recipe at this location: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/vegetarianindianrecipes/r/yellowdhal.htm
Ingredients:
- 1 cup yellow split peas, uncooked
- 2 cups water or vegetable broth
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp margarine
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin, whole seeds or ground
- 2 whole cloves
- dash pepper, to taste
Preparation:
In a large pot, place the peas and water or vegetable broth, and bring to a slow simmer. Add the turmeric, cayenne and salt, and cover. Allow to cook for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the onion, cumin and clove in the margarine. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until onion is soft. Add the onion and spices to the split peas, and allow to simmer for at least 5 more minutes.
Add a dash of pepper and more salt, if desired, and serve hot with rice or alone in a soup bowl.
This Indian food recipe is both vegetarian and vegan.
