I love dalca curry that is thick.....The last time I added chicken to it, maybe try vegetarian one next round! Looking forward to your fried bitter gourd recipe!
ReplyDeleteThough I don't like spicy food, I like Dhal curry, maybe because it's not too spicy! I love roti canai with Dhal curry!
ReplyDeleteI should buy some frozen roti canai and ask my wife to make me some good Dhal curry using your recipe! Hehehe...
Pete, ok, the fried bittergourd is so easy to cook, will share recipe soon.
ReplyDeleteColin, wor, so late still not yet sleep,hehehe..good idea, quickly ask your wife to prepare for you, you will enjoy this.
I love this Indian curry. I need some naan bread now to go with this curry.
ReplyDeleteI always cook this. Normally, I will wash the dhall and then simply boil it first with water to the consistency or texture which I like -almost mashy cos then it's creamier! Add in the potatoes till half cook. Only then, I will sauté the aromatics and add in the veggies and dump that into the dhall pot. Some dhall takes a loooong time to cook - all your potatoes and veggies may "dissolve!"
ReplyDeleteoh dear! this is my kids favourite. Everytimes we went back must eat this with roti canai. Must learn fr u liao.
ReplyDeleteYou left out an important detail in this recipe: the amount of "Indian spices" (cumin & mustard seeds) needed.
ReplyDeleteSo how much do we add?
