How do you cook your lentils?
Dahl recipes seem complex and have many ingredients? Do you do anything basic with lentils that is quick and easy?
Also - 6 minute wait thanks to a freshly rebooted PC - frick you Hiro, you idiot.

I eat beans wtf is that shit?
Lentils, you peasant
A peasant called a peasant a peasant
>Do you do anything basic with lentils that is quick and easy?
if they're dried theres no such thing as "quick and easy"
pre-prep your food you fricking barbarian
OK, after pre-prepping then
Once you've done all your soaking and washing they'll still be a half hour or more to boil. Add spices while they boil, serve them with rice, or in soup, or in pasta, or in stew, or in a burrito or a taco or...
boil them for 20-25 minutes with a bay leaf, add tomato sauce.
Thats it, nothing else?
add extra spices, rice, ground beef. excellent gains sloppa. just make sure you don't add salt until they are fully cooked because the lentils will get very tough.
>don't add salt until they are fully cooked because the lentils will get very tough.
Good tip. I have previously added salt at the start - and this is what happened
>soak the beans overnight
>dump the water to remove toxins from the beans (yes you have to do this or you develop autoimmune diseases)
>soak overnight again in spices
>dump water again
>boil on low for 3+ hours
>dump the water again
>mash the beans into a paste, add additional spices, lime juice
>bake in the oven 1 hour
>remove
>serve with rice
>OP posts lentils
>asks for quick recipes
>moron Black person posts moron shit about soaking and cooking beans for 24 hours
>moron OP asks for impossible recipes
they're lentils they literally take 20 mins
based and red pilled....
OP here - I had a look in the cupboard. I dont have everything I need, but I have made the most of what I had.
1 cup red split lentils
salt
cumin
coriander
tumeric
curry powder
tomatoe, diced
half a jalapeno
half a tin of coconut milk
extra water (didnt have veg stock)
chili flakes
Seems to be cooking OK and tastes fine.
Just had it with a cup of basmati rice.
Was fricking awesome
>basmati rice
Eat brown rice or some other whole grain instead. White rice sucks.
Basmati is OK - its the best of the white rices, but yeah, brown is better again
You don't even have to soak them, i chop an onion and a pepper saute in olive oil then lentils then water , let it cook for the amount of time (25-40 min) and voila, i eat it with rice off course and sriracha, jalapenos, tabasco etc.
Brown rice is difficult to digest, people around the globe eat traditionally white rice for a reason.
Have you tried Jasmin Rice?
Yep - the red split ones needed no soaking at all.
and yep to Jasmine rice - that too is nice and OK-ish like Basmati
Doesnt dahl use a load of coconut milk which is full of fat? Could you make it without this?
Dal is just the hindi word for lentils (and other stuff like split peas). You can cook however you want, but usually they just do it with water and then spices n shit.
India has to be the only country on Earth where the men are somehow getting shorter and you pick their cuisine to get IST on, lmao.
That made me chuckle
Thanks

>quick
You can make lentil soup, it's super easy and freezes well. I use a recipe like this:

Usually I add some bacon to the soup too and boil it for a bit longer, around 40-50 minutes, because lentils tend to give me gas if they're not cooked long enough.
>Dahl recipes seem complex
Which learning disability do you have, anon?
I sometimes do a sort of faux dal, I don't think it's an authentic recipe and I don't care because it's easy and tasty.
Fry onions, garlic, and ginger
Add ground spices (cumin, corriander, tumeric, curry powder, garam masala, etc)
Add dry red lentils (rinse them first)
Add water or stock
Add a can of coconut milk for extra deliciousness and cals
Cook until done
Alright never mind I see you've already cooked them
Enjoy
