Lentil Dal Curry Ingredients

  • Lentils – 1 glass
  • Onions, medium – 1 pc.
  • Large apple – 1 pc.
  • Lemon juice – to taste
  • Tomato paste (ketchup) – 1 tablespoon.
  • Curry – 1 tablespoon
  • Ground ginger – 1 teaspoon
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Broth or water – 2 glasses (take more if necessary)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Lentil Dal Curry Instructions

  1. Pour a little vegetable oil into a saucepan with a thick bottom and fry half rings of onion with pepper, salt, ginger, curry, lemon juice, and tomato paste (ketchup). Minutes 2-3. 
  2. Add lentils and 2 cups of water and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes.
  3. Cut the apple into small pieces and send it to the lentils. Simmer the lentil curry until the lentils are completely soft, about another 20-30 minutes. If the water boils away, then you should add it.
  4. After turning off the heat, let the lentil curry brew for another half hour so that the lentils will absorb the remaining liquid.

Enjoy your meal!
