INSTRUCTIONS
Put the lentils and turmeric in a deep pot. Add 3 cups of water and
bring to a boil. Cook lentils, gently simmering, partially covered,
until cooked but still hold their shape, about 30 minutes. Stir a few
times during cooking to ensure the lentils are not sticking to the pan
and burning. Add more water if necessary. Add squash, tomatoes, onions
and curry powder and mix well. Cook for 10 minutes or until the
vegetables and lentils are tender. Stir in the nuts and salt; cover
and set aside. Heat the ghee or oil in a small frying pan over
medium-high heat until hot. Add cumin and cook until the spice turns
several shades darker. Add asafetida and crushed pepper. Let spices
sizzle for a minute then put the entire contents of the pan over the
lentil-vegetable mixture. Add coriander and stir just a few times to
mix lightly. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with deep fried
balloon bread. Yield: 4 servings USLI GHEE: Heat one stick butter in
a small sauce pan over low-heat until fully melted, 5 minutes.
Increase heat and cook the butter until all its moisture evaporates
and the milk solids turn brown, and the clear fat will turn golden
amber, about 5 minutes. Strain the clear fat usli ghee into a jar.
