Last night I made Curried Vegetables with Dal. Sweet potatoes and cauliflower, add some spinach at the end. We served it on rice. It was quite pretty, golden curry with brighter sweet potato and green spinach, but alas, no photo!
The dal was just split peas cooked in water, and all the spices (a fresh chilli, which I didn't have, fresh ginger, curry powder, cumin) were in the vegetable mix. They want you to puree the split peas, but I had so much extra water that it just made soup.
It was a moderate success. Debbie and I enjoyed it, Elaine went straight for the leftover mac and cheese, and Stephen turned his nose up at it as well.
When the kids were little, some of the other moms in the neighbourhood and I wanted to have a Yucky Vegetable party, where we could eat parsnips and squash and red peppers and sweet potatoes and broccoli and all that without anyone whining at us. We never got around to it, but perhaps there is still a need.
We make this often but never puree the lentils because the red ones just end up as mush anyway.
