I made "Yellow Lentils with Spinach and Ginger" from The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook again tonight. After my first attempt a couple of weeks ago, I knew I could tweak the original recipe improve things significantly.
What did I do differently this time 'round?
~ I actually used yellow lentils, (instead of yellow split peas,) which cooked more quickly and fell apart nicely for that soupy "dal" effect
~ I used grated fresh ginger instead of dried ground
~ I used part of an onion and a clove of garlic instead of the shallot
~ I used a whole jalapeno (again -- nice level of heat!)
Yum again! I'll have to see what Dan thinks of this second try -- of the two of us, he's definitely the dal expert. :)

Love the changes you made to the recipe!
That looks fantastic. I've never even seen yellow lentils. But lentils, ginger, and spinach really perk the ears!
that looks really, really delicious! I just love dahls, lentils, Indian food...
Dal is my absolute favorite thing--I could eat it every day and never get sick of it! Yours looks good...I hope Dan approved!

dal is the ultimate comfort food...this and hot rice with a drizzle of ghee/olive oil is just wonderful.
looks good!
