Dal bukhara e mungubadega daal

Kuna ma nüüd liha ei söö ja ainus lihalaadne toit menüüs on kala, siis võib nüüdsest näha kordades rohkem leide taimetoidu ja vegan söökide maailmast.

Näiteks siin on leid ühest India taimetoidule keskenduvast blogist mille ma siia alla ka kohe ümber kopeerin.

  • 350 ml urad dal‘i
  • 250g tomatit või 3 suurt või keskmise suurusega tomatit
  • 1 cm jupp ingverit
  • 4-5 küüslauguküünt
  • 1 tl kashmiri punase karri pulbrit
  • 1/2 tl garam masala pulbrit
  • 90 kuni 100g võid
  • 7-8 spl vahukoort
  • liiter vett

Leota ubasid vees kas üleöö või vähemalt paar tundi. Pärast leotamist pese oad üle.

Võta suur kastrul, pane sinna u 700 ml vett. Kui vesi keeb, viska oad sinna sisse ja lase pehmeks keeda.

Samal ajal lase tomatid püreeks ja purusta ingver ja küüslauguküüned uhmris pastaks.

Kui oad on enam-vähem pehmeks keenud, kurna vesi ära ja viska oad tagasi potti. Lisa juurde ingveri-küüslaugu pasta ja kõik maitseained. Lase podiseda, lisa või ja koor.

Kuna talvisel ajal on meil siin Eesti turul tomatid kuidagi väga kehvakesed ja magedad, siis pidin juurde lisama purgitäie konserveeritud tomatit ka.

Mul küll olid kõik õiged maitseained olemas, aga kuidagi mage jäi, nii et lisasin ühe puljongikuubiku omalt poolt ja niiumbes supilusikatäie jagu kollast karrit.

Tomatikonserv päästis kogu roa, nii et kui just oma koduaia tomateid või lihtsalt väga mõnusaid ja mahlaseid tomateid saada ei ole, siis vist ei ole konservtomatist pääsu.

Igatahes lõpptulemus oli väga mõnus ja toekas!
