How can I dispose of a pan of dahl?

Well Cari.........

I think the fact that I didn't wash the lentils was a lot to blame for how I felt about it. Read on the I-net afterwards something about dust and debris! Who could have known?!

I also boil my lentils first, then give it a good rinse before I add anything. I would be making some too if I hadn't made it a few days ago.

Fresh green chillies are much nicer than dried chillies. My Dahl is always tastier the next day.

When I make one of my Dahls using yellow lentils it look like just husks of the lentils for awhile but once the spices thicken everything it all comes together.

You've got me going now Jings - I'm going to make some too!

You still need to fry the spices, onions etc, even with the tamarind but it just adds a certain piquancy that lifts the lentils from stodge to tasty

I'm going to try again. A mini version with the remaining 100 grams of lentils. Am going to keep adding various things until it tastes good.

I am pinning much of my hope on the sauce stuff Riverwalk recommended, which Mr Ocado will be bringing to my door shortly.

Thank you for all the kind suggestions.

(I have found some frozen garlic and ginger in the freezer, left over from DD's more expert cooking ventures)

Onwards and upwards.

I miss that for under the table after children's mealtime Lona

I wouldn't have made it in the first instance jings

I've just chucked a pan of chicken curry that I made and didn't like. Life's too short.
I do miss having a canine waste disposal though!

I'm really glad you got rid of it, jingl, despite all the protestations from the anti-waste brigade. Well done!

Sometimes you just have to let things go - especially mushy messes.

I remember you mentioning that recipe on another thread jingl and thought it sounded good, all ready to go out and buy the ingredients so thanks for coming back to say it wasn't worth the bother. Hate when something like that happens. What a shame.

What do you mean, it tastes a bit veggie? Of course it does. I eat food that tastes vegetarian all the time.
Next time use a proper recipe from someone like Maddhur Jaffrey, who knows how to use spices properly.
All dahls taste better the next day and the next. We used to live next door to an Indian couple. He used to make chickpea curries, but would not give us any until the third or fourth day when it tasted its best. Then he would bring us a big bowlful.

It was a Jamie Oliver recipe. Well, one of his apprentices I think.

Marmite?!!!!!!!

Crafting

It's gone. Double bagged in the bottom of the wheely-bin. There was no redeeming it. It was a mush.

I will put the whole unhappy affair in a balloon and let it float away.

Send it to me jimgs I produce tasteless meals evey night, no one will know the difference

Don't chuck it out jingle it sounds like you need to add add more spices. I have some great Dahl recipes, I add the spices listed in the ingredients but never measure them, I am always adding more anyway. I keep adding until it taste right. Sounds like you need more of everything. I also find if I grind my own spices they taste even better.

Stir in some Marmite. Yum!

Flush it down the loo?
What recipe did you use- so I can avoid it when making it for DD?

Love dhall and have made it at home without problem. Where did your recipe come from jinglbellsfrocks? There are a lot of recipes and some are nicer than others.

Getting rid of it? We have food waste collections in our neck of the woods, but as granjura says you could feed it to the birds, or put it on the compost heap. An occasional dollop of cooked vegetarian food will not attract rats to it. Depending on how solid it is, you could just wash it down the sink.

!!! Cheeky!

Good idea River - or you could check out "Taste #5 Umami Paste" Jing. Transforms almost anything that needs just that something extra.........even you!

I'll eat it!
Have you any curry paste? Bung some of that in it, fry onion in butter, if no ghee, season and yum.

I'm going to try the sauce. I expect DH will eat it. He eats anything I put in front of him.

Or... You could send it round to my DD and her family. They eat dal all the time, and love it,even the 2yr old. ( child that is, not the dal).
