Brown Lentils-sabut masoor daal recipe
- Start off with soaking the Brown Lentils-sabut masoor daal. Compared to other lentils like masoor daal (pink lentils) or moong daal (yellow lentils) this particular type of lentils takes time to cook. Soaking reduces the cooking time, and ensures that they cook soft.
- After the lentils have soaked, put them in a pot with water and spices and cook them on low heat till are soft. Use a whisk or hand blender (just a few pulses) at the end of cooking to half mash the daal. The slow cooking process imparts a subtle smokiness to the lentils.
- In the end do the tempering (also known as tarka / tadka or baghaar). Heat oil in a small wok / frying pan and add sliced onions and/or garlic. Heat till golden brown and then pour over the daal. Tempering is a technique used in Indian and Pakistani cooking where spices and vegetables are added to hot oil and fried releasing their flavour and aroma. The oil along with the fried aromatics are poured over the curry (or daal in this case).
