Went to India, took along everyone on my floor
I made my very first dahl dish tonight!
I remembered one dahl dish from Kuala Lumpur had potatoes and carrots in it, so I added these to mine... it was quite good! I found a box of spices that included turmeric, garam masala, cumin, and crushed chilis, all of which I used. I added the garam masala, cumin, and crushed chilis last, after sweating them with onions and garlic in oil. I also found some lime leaves, which I added even though they probably are not usually included in dahl dishes.
My concoction stunk the entire floor in my building! My neighbor caught a sniff and knocked on my door to offer me some homemade yoghurt, unbelievable - I am going to learn how she made it! She says it is quite simple. She also offered me some cucumber, so I gave her some dahl and rice in trade.
So, tonight's basic, inexpensive dinner was: dahl, rice, cucumber and yoghurt! I am full. I can't recall the last time that I was this full. I have lots of dahl remaining for another filling!
