Sri Lanka Dal

https://www.loveandotherspices.com/sri-lankan-red-lentil-dal/

I wsnted to share a recipe from Sri Lanka as a way to show unity and empathy for their situation. They have maybe a day’s fuel left and very little food. At this point the consequences of 2020 world wide shutdown are rearing their heads.

Now let’s look at the Dal. This is a beautiful dish to look at. It’s got bright colors and flavors. Chilis, Tumeric, and Tamarind. Mexicans use in candy. Tamarind has a slight bitter taste so it can be used for sweet or savory.

Ted lentils are an excellent legume. They pack a lot of nurtition in a small package and they can carry bold flavors easily. Any vegetable combination can be presented here.

Meat or no meat! Personal choice reigns supreme here. Beyond that Dal is served with Basmati rice, naan, or by itself.

Hello y'all! I have hit a point in my life that I miss the simple dishes and times that my parents grew up in. People were kind to each other and the food was homemade from scratch. Before convince food was everywhere. Oh, those were the days... Let's reclaim them and start cooking from scratch again.
