He did something really nice for me while I was lampooning around Las Vegas, I came home to a spruced up back yard... compliments of my lovely husband and Tiff and Jason. Thanks everyone, it looks lovely:
So the soup nazi giveth...
prep: 15 min, cook: 45 min
2 quarts veggie stock
1-1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin1 teaspoon cayenne
1-1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1-1/2 teaspoon hot, madras or japanese curry powder
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 teaspoon olive oil
Cover lentils in stock in a 3-quart soup pot, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer over low heat. Add turmeric, cumin, cayenne, curry, garam masala and simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes until the lentils are soft and the stock has reduced to desired consistency. In a small skillet, heat oil and saute mustard seeds until color barely changes - they'll burn fast! Add to soup and serve or simmer 15 mins longer for thicker dal and spoon over rice. Serves 4-6, but I usually double and freeze the remainder.
