BeckySimple Daal Recipe
My friend Inderjit shared his mother's daal recipe with me and I made it today. The story behind the recipe in his words: "In my younger days it seemed to me that my mother only cooked lentils. We always seemed to have them. They would be cooked and served one day. The next day we had them again – only with added water, to make them go further. Red split lentils – called Daal in Hindi, Urdu and Panjabi. Daal literally means “crushed”. Lentil Daal can only be considered to be cooked when the Lentils are utterly crushed into a kind of cream of lentils".
