|
• AliPots panset |
• 2 cups of red lentils |
• 2 cups of flour |
|
• Koro stove (and gas) |
• 6 cups of water |
• 1 cup of water (you might not need it all) |
|
• A knife |
• Turmeric, cumin (and Garam masala if you're feeling fancy) |
• A pinch of salt |
|
• TiMigos spoon (= 2 tsp) |
• A few knobs of butter |
• A bit more butter |
|
• Something to cut on |
• A couple of cloves garlic |
|
|
• An onion |
||
|
• 1-2 green chillies, sliced (or more if you're extremely brave) |
Instructions:
-
Chop your onion, garlic and chillies, then fire up the stove and heat up your small frying pan. Pop the chopped veggies in the frying pan with a knob of butter and fry until the garlic is golden. Take off the heat, mix in the cumin, then set aside for a bit.
-
Right, let’s start on those lentils. Turn your stove down to a low heat and pop your lentils, a knob of butter and the turmeric in the large pan along with 4 cups of water. Pop the lid on and bring to the boil, then allow to simmer on a low heat. Stir periodically and add more water when necessary.
-
Whilst your lentils are cooking, make a start on that chapati dough. Mix the flour and salt in your smaller pan. Add the water bit by bit, kneading as you go until you have a so , elastic dough. Knead the mixture for another few minutes, then divide into 4-6 balls.
-
Flatten the balls of dough a little on the palm of your hand then shape them by tugging and rotating the dough until they’re no more than half a centimetre thick. Keep an eye on your lentils as you go.
-
Hopefully your lentils will now be ready, they should be a thick, porridge-like consistency. If so, add in those vegetables that you fried up earlier and give it a good mix, put the lid back on to keep them warm.
-
Pop your frying pan back onto the stove, add that last bit of butter and turn up the heat.
-
Fry your chapatis in the frying pan one at a time and turn over when they start to go golden on the bottom (you have to keep an eye on them). Once they’re done, slather them with dahl and enjoy!
