Показать описание
Disclaimer besties - My mum can make this in 10 mins because she is an Indian mum, for us non-Indian mums it will probably be about 15 mins. But never the less it is so simple to make and I regularly make this when I cant be bothered to go out and get ingredients and especially when I’m missing my mum’s food. More recipes with my mum to come, let me know what you want to learn from her!

250g Red Lentils
300g Tinned Chopped Tomatoes
8 Garlic Cloves
8 Cm Ginger
1 Tsp Cumin Seeds
1/2 Tsp Turmeric
1 Tsp Cumin Powder
2 Tsp Chilli Powder
1 Tsp Coriander Powder
3 Green Chillis
Small Handful Coriander
2 Tbsp Ghee
3 Sprigs Curry Leaves (Optional but highly recommended)


Wash the red lentils in a large pan at least 3 times in VERY WARM water until the water comes out clear, the water must be warm, this helps it cook faster. Add 750ml of warm water into the pan and boil high for 7 minutes

Blend the chopped tomatoes, half the ginger and 4 cloves of garlic in a hand blender.

In a large pan pour two large glugs of vegetable oil and add the cumin seeds. Wait for them to start dancing around in the pan, then carefully add in the blended tomatoes.

Add in the turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder, chilli powder and 2 tsp salt. Cook on a medium heat for at least 7 minutes, or until the dhal is cooked.

Meanwhile thinly slice 4 cloves of garlic, half the green chilli, finely chop the coriander and chop the remaining ginger into matchsticks.

To check if the dhal is cooked, press a few grains between your fingers to feel if they are tender. Add the cooked dhal with the cooking liquid into the curried tomatoes give it a good mix. Top up with 150ml more water to reach your desired consistency.

Taste for seasoning and stir in 3/4 of the coriander.

Heat up 2 tbsp oil and ghee in a small pan and gently cook the garlic until golden. Add in the chillies cook for 15 secs, then add the curry leaves. Cook these until they are bright green (about 10 secs) and then immediately pour over the dhal. Pop a lid on and let the flavours infuse into the dhal until you are ready to eat.

Finish with the remaining ginger and coriander and serve with rice.

Making Dal in ten minutes is one of the first and basic things we ever learn growing up here in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Masoor daal takes very less time to soften, that's the reason why she chose this one

Making anything in 10 minutes takes practice and skill. Your mom has been doing this a long time!

Depends what kind of dal, you used masoor. We normally at my household use toor dal which does take longer than 10 mins

Dhal is my absolute fave comfort food. I like to add lots of ghee, some mango pickle and serve with boiled egg. I make it weekly.

Yummy! I can make this in 15 to 20 minutes. I'm a beginner cook so I'm not as fast as Mums around the world. I'm still learning. 😂😂

Enjoy this time with your mom. Value it. My mom was a really good cook. She could beat iron chef. I like to think about being in the kitchen helping her. I will always value those times. ❤

I’m Canadian and have shared my home with Indian kids for the last 10 years. We live on Dahl. I was very sick for 6 years it was all I wanted to eat and my kids love it. Xoxo

The Dhal curry is one of the most regular dishes that we make in Sri Lanka. Usually we use coconut milk but seeing your version makes my mouth water! I’m definitely gonna try this! Love from 🇱🇰
