INSTRUCTIONS

Dalnas are the ingenious creations of cooks from Orissa, in eastern India.
Traditionally, the dish is prepared with yellow mung beans, but I have
created this recipe using readily obtainable large lima beans. To round out
the menu, accompany this robust stew with rice pilaf.
Rinse lima beans. Soak in water to cover for 6 hours, or overnight. Drain
and rinse again. Set aside.
Heat oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin, onion,
garlic and ginger. Stir and cook until onion starts to brown, about 4
minutes. Add tomato, coconut and cilantro, reduce heat and cook until
tomato is soft. Transfer to a blender, add 1/4 cup of the water and blend
until smooth. (If necessary, add more water to facilitate blending.)
Combine beans, tomato-onion mixture and remaining water in a heavy 2 quart
saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until
beans are tender, but still hold their shape, about 1 hour. Add cayenne,
paprika and salt. Mix thoroughly. Garnish with fresh dill.

A Message from our Provider:

“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
