While compiling my list of pantry staples yesterday I already had in mind the first thing I was going to make:
Isa's Red Lentil Dhal. I had all the ingredients, so this afternoon I got to work. I've never made dhal before, I've only had it at indian restaurants. I was pleasantly surprised how wonderful, complex, rich and flavorful this dhal was! The first step of toasting and grinding your own spices really contributes to the tasty flavors.
Pantry staples used:
1 cup split red lentils
assorted spices
veggie broth powder
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato paste (I only used 2 TB and freezed leftovers)
white jasmine rice
Other vegetables/fruits etc:
1 lime
1" piece of ginger
1 onion
3 cloves garlic
Ingredients I had to purchase: none
Look at that rich color!
