Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[neph93]

Lovely stuff. Thank you. I’ll look at at making that one night this week.

@neph93 This is the Bengali Cholar Dal….Alex cooked it recently and it was a step up from your average Tarka Dhal, so I thought I would give is a go...

Thanks again. When I taught myself to cook aged 18, I was vegetarian (ugh) and dals from scratch were one of the first things I learnt. Afterwards I learnt a load of Indian dishes, including chutnies and pickles. They’ve all fallen out of rotation over the years as I taught myself other styles and cuisines. I’m now inspired to make a comeback.

She has about 15 dals on there, and for a midweek recipe there is not a lot better in terms of ease:price:nutrition:taste

[Giles]

Do.  There are so many types….........

[neph93]

King prawns in a Delhi style sauce. Pretty darn good…

[Giles]

Now, I'm hungry 

[neph93]

It’s a really tasty sauce. Ended up a bit salty because I didn’t adjust to accomodate the prawns but fekk it.

I made this last weekend.  It is so fucking simple and really delish…....Try it

[Matty123]

Cheers Giles!

[Giles]

I would go lighter on the salt than the recipe calls for…..

[Matty123]

Thank you for that. I tend to have a heavy hand with salt too.
