ANGLO-INDIAN DOL MASH / DAL MASH

An easy recipe for a popular Anglo-Indian Dish - Dal Mash or Dol Mash as it is fondly known as. Cooked with very little water to an almost solid consistency, this simple and tasty dish is often served as a side dish with White steamed Rice,  Pepper Water and Papadams. A few pieces of fried Salt fish will round off this simple exquisite meal.
This recipe is taken from my Recipe Book ANGLO-INDIAN CUISINE - A LEGACY OF FLAVOURS FROM THE PAST.

Serves 6            Preparation Time 45 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup Tur Dhal or Masur Dhal
2 onions chopped
2 green chillies chopped
1 teaspoon garlic chopped
1 teaspoon ginger chopped
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
¼ teaspoon mustard seeds
A few curry leaves
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon oil

Cook the dhal with sufficient water and ½ teaspoon turmeric powder till soft in a suitable pan or a pressure cooker. The dal should be semi solid. Mash and keep aside.
Heat oil in aother pan and add the mustard seeds. When it splutters, add the chopped onion, green chillies curry leaves, ginger and garlic and fry well till the onions turn golden brown. Add the cooked and mashed dhal and mix well. Cover with a lid to keep in the flavours and remove from heat Add a little ghee while serving.
Serve as a side dish with White Steamed Rice, Pepper Water, Papadams and some fried salt fish.
