Spicy Indian Lentil and Spinach Curry with Rice is my take on a traditional curry lentil dish but, the addition of coconut milk and lemon juice makes this recipe more creamy with just the right touch of sour, so every bite is a delightfully flavorful experience. Through my research, I learned that makhani is often served with black lentils (dal makhani), so I decided to add lentils for substance and give the recipe name a makeover: Tomato and Lentil Curry. While it's certainly an improvement, I'm not sure any name could represent this bold and spicy, hearty dish in its full glory. The Indian dal has as many recipes as there are families in India.
Steps to make Lentil and tomato curry, Indian style:
- In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add in the coriander, cumin, and mustard seeds. Fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds or so.
- Reduce heat to low-medium and add in the garlic, ginger, and onions, being careful not to burn the garlic and ginger.
- Cook onions until soft and translucent, stirring frequently to avoid burning the spices and aromatics.
- Add in lentils and tomatoes, stir everything together, then turn heat back to medium. Add in garam masala powder, bay leaf, sugar, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stirring occasionally, simmer until reduced to preferred consistency (I like it more like a stew and not so liquid).
- Add in cream, then reduce once again to preferred consistency.
- Remove from heat and serve.
But there are two popular ones - an exotic and rich restaurant style known as tadka dal and then a basic simple dal recipe the way its prepared at home. Tadka is an Indian word used to denote the process of seasoning a dish by gently tempering spices in hot oil and then adding it to the preparation. Great foundations for a lentil stew.
