Dal and Rice has always been the simplest of all the food. A plate of hot dal and rice in the chilly afternoon of germany is priceless!!
In this post we will make a standard for making rice which will used for all the other gravies that I will post on this forum. The best way to make rice here in germany is by using microwave. Here is how:
Take a bowl or pot which can be kept in microwave (non-metallic). The bowl will have triangle shape at the bottom which confirms that it can be used for microwave cooking. Also in some case it will have the range of temperature or sign of a vessel with vapour coming out of it. Once you found that, it is as good as your rice is done. The microwave setting should be at the maximum or one step below also is ok. And the timer should be set for 22-23 minutes. The ratio of rice and water should be as stated in the first post.
Now for the dal, the simplest of dal is TUR DAAL. It is available in SPICELAND ( store for Indian groceries) near frankfurt main station for students from Darmstadt.
Usually the dal which is available here in germany takes time to cook.
1 cup of dal- serves 2-3
2 cup of water
A pinch of turmeric powder
and salt as per taste
Put these in a pressure cooker and make sure the herd is not at maximum. Keep it at 2.5 or little less than that. Let the pressure cooker whistle for 5-6 times, then take it off from the herd. Let it cool down.
Meanwhile take
1 onion-sliced
1 tomato sliced
2 spoons of oil
2 spoons of butter
some coriander leaves -available in turkish shops and Indian stores
Heat a pan, fry onion until its brown and then add sliced tomatoes let it cook for a while.
Add 2 spoons of butter and take the pan of from the herd.
Mix this with already cooked dal, add water and salt if you want the dal to be little more thin.
Its already 23 min by now and your rice will also be ready. Serve it hot, and may be with a little more butter if you wish.
