ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups red lentils, they actually look orange to me
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon five-spice seasoning, directions are in the recipe description above. Food.com doesn't recognize the words Panch Phoran
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch piece ginger, minced
- red pepper flakes
- 4 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 1⁄2 cup water
directions
- Rinse and sort the lentils. Add them to the 4 cups water in a large pot with the turmeric and salt. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for about 30 minutes. Set this pot aside.
- Meanwhile prepare the vegetables: Heat a large deep skillet (non-stick is best). When the pan is hot add the oil and shake it around to completely cover the surface. Add the panch phoran and as soon as the first seed pops and sizzles add the onion, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cauliflower and 1/2 cup water. Bring to the boil, cover and cook for about 10 minutes until the cauliflower is soft.
- Add the dal to the cauliflower mixture and stir well. Check the seasonings and adjust as necessary.
- Serve over rice. Yum!

Although I am a US citizen, I have spent most of my adult life living outside of the States. I've raised my family all over the world - and I have to say that my four kids are pretty terrific!
I am always looking for recipes that only call for basic ingredients. Because I don't live in the US, I often can't find packages or this, or jars and cans of that, even certain spices can be tricky.
My favorite cookbooks are the New Joy of Cooking, and anything by Nigela Lawson.
My passions are cooking and eating - big surprise there.
I have no pet peeves, I don't keep any peeves around long enough to make them into pets.
I especially love baking, but I'm trying to get away from that - the carbs are starting to stick to my hips a little too easily.
I took a Sushi making course recently. It was a lot of fun; I now know that I need to GO OUT for Sushi, not make it myself.
