Since I seem able to sleep at night
But really think I should do something with this journal, I'll start writing up my recipes. Tonight I'm making Tasty Indian Rice and Lentils
1-1/2 cups Basmati Rice
1-1/2 cups Toor Dahl (Yellow Lentils from the Indian Food Store)
5-1/2 cups Hot Broth of Choice I use vegetarian
1/2 cup frozen green peas
1/2 cup chopped frozen broccoli
Curry Powder
Garam Masala
Cumin
Red Chili Powder (the instant hot stuff from the Indian store)
Heat large pan then add about 2 Tbs oil (ghee, veg oil, olive oil - butter but it might burn). Once hot add rice and lentils, stir until everything is well coated about 2 minutes. Add seasoning and cook stirring well for another minute. Add broth, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Take off heat, stir in frozen veg and let stand covered for another 10 minutes.
I don't list the amount of seasoning since every time I make it, it's a little different. I use at least 2 Tbs Madras Curry Powder, 1 Tbs Red Chili Powder, 1/2 tsp each Garam Masala and Cumin. My lentils tend to be a little firm so you may want to add another 1/2 cup broth and cook for another 10 minutes.
There goes my timer!
