Chickpea Dal (kabuli Chana Dal)

As far as the apostles were concerned, they were as weak as any other men. They were uneducated, very ordinary men. Yet they are given this privileged position: they will deliver the Word of God through the Son to the world. From God the Father, through the Son, through the Spirit, and through the apostles to the world. In this sense, the apostles are 'foundational' to the church... Theological and ethical instruction from the apostles is universally binding. Indeed, it is 'from God to us.'

Date: Sun, 23 Jun 1996 11:23:51 -0400  From: cpa@gis.net This recipe is
from INDIAN LIGHT COOKING, which  I've told you about before. It is our
Fave dal recipe so far.  Quick  & Easy to fix, too!  Remove 1 c.
chickpeas (including the liquid) from 1 can of chickpeas.  Drain.
Coarsely chop.  In a food processor or blender, process the  remaining
chickpeas and the liquid to a puree. Set aside.  Heat a nonstick
saucepan over moderate heat.  Add the cumin seeds and  stir until they
crackle, about 10 seconds.  Add onion, ginger &  garlic. Stir until
onion is translucent. Add turmeric, coriander and  red pepper. Cook,
stirring, for about 20 seconds, being careful not  to burn.  Add tomato
sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let  simmer 1 minute. Add
chopped & pureed chickpeas. Cook, stirring, 2-3  minutes to allow
flavors to blend. Add salt to taste.* Remove from  heat. Add lime juice
and stir. YUM!  Serve with rice, whole wheat bread, and a yogurt salad
(raitta).  "For a special treat, try Piquant Lime Rice."  *we watch our
sodium, so instead of using salt we doubled the lime  juice. This would
make a great party dip with pita triangles, if it  were pureed a bit
more completely.  FATFREE DIGEST V96 #174  From the Fatfree Vegetarian
