Recipe
Ingredients:
1 Onion
2 cloves of garlic crushed
2 tsp of cumin powder
2 tsp of curry powder
Salt as required
4 tbs oil.
250 gms Yellow lentils. The small thin type.
Tomato paste - Passata
Instructions:
Soak lentils for half hour. Then wash 3 times.
Slice onion.
Heat Oil.
Fry 1 onion until brown.
Add crushed garlic for a minute.
Add spices with 50-100 ml of water.
Cook for 3-5 mins until water reduces to half.
Add tomato paste.
Add daal and salt.
Stir until everything is mixed well.
Add water until daal is covered fully.
Cook until daal becomes soft.
Stir regularly making sure it doesn't stick to bottom.
When daal is soft and there is a soupy liquid then it is ready :ia:
Round 2: Baked Salmon. :alhamd: This is probably my best attempt at cooking to date. I'm saving it for tomorrow so I'll let you know how it tasted later :ia:
Recipe
Ingredients:
500 lb salmon steak
1 medium sized onion
1 large red chilli pepper
Half a lemon
1 tbs of oil
2 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp tikka masala
2 cloves of crushed garlic
Salt as required
Instructions:
Wash salmon well.
Slice onion.
Slice chilli.
Place salmon in a large bowl.
Make slits all over salmon for spices to soak in.
Squash lemon over salmon steak until all juice is over.
Spread salt all over.
Sprinkle salt and spices all over.
Sprinkle chilli all over.
Rub everything into salmon steak so that the steak can absorb it.
Cover and let it lie for 10-15 mins.
Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
Place salmon steak carefully with all spices on top of it on a large piece of alumimium foil.
Pour all juice and spices onto salmon steak.
Place onion slices all over top of salmon steak.
Wrap and fold foil over in 1 cm folds so that no heat can escape from top and sides.
Place in oven for 30 mins.
After 30 mins take out and brush with oil.
Leave another 15 mins until a little brown.
Then remove from oven and serve with rice or anything else you desire.
And enjoy :ia:
