Masurir Dal Recipe


Ingredients

3 cup water
1 cup red lentils
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 each bay leaves
2 each dried red chiles
1/2 tsp kalonji seeds
1 cup onion, thinly slivered
1 tsp green chile, chopped
1 tsp garam masala
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cilantro, chopped


Directions

Bring water to a boil over medium heat & add lentils. Add turmeric &
simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender, about 15 minutes. They
are cooked when they easily break when pressed between the thumb &
index finger. Add salt & sugar. In a blender, puree until smooth.
Return to the pan & keep warm.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Fry bay leaves & red
chiles until the chiles darken. Add kalonji seeds & fry a few
seconds more. Add onion & fry until it darkens to a rich brown: do
not allow it to burn. If you have the heat nice & low, this should
take 15 to 18 minutes. Stir constantly. Stir in the green chile &
pour this mixture over the pureed lentils. Simmer for another 2 to 3
minutes.

Remove from the heat. Stir in the garama masala, lemon juice (or
lime if you prefer) & cilantro. Garnish with lemon wedges & serve
immediately.

The History of Recipes

We are able to read the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.

Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of books from the 14th Century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of the time.

When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and disposable income.
