I know I shall suffer but I have just made the most delish lentil curry in my good ole slo-cooker -just a Dhansaak really.Took a couple of minutes to lash in and by time I came home it was there saying eat me lol

Had to resort to the plain 'orange' lentils -I normally use the green or brown lentils as they have a nuttier flavour.

Anyone else use the green or brown lentils? Is there a difference do you think in the flavour?

No probs Kate -the lentils cook much quicker as there is less liquid.Seem to take ages in soup.
Let me know how you get on -nice and filling for your diet.Hope youre still doing well !! x
Hiya drissy....I make a red lentil Dhal..........takes about 40 min all told. Black mustard seeds......ground coriander.....ground cumin....and chillie flakes-fry in a touch of oil til the mustard sees pop. Then throw in your lentils-coat with the spices, then cover with veg stock.Cook until almost tender...then add a squeeze of lemon juice,and a teaspoon or so of Garam Masala. Give it another 5 min....serve with basmati rice or naan....and lots of yogurt. Bet it would be easy-peasy in the slow cooker.

o Pasta -sounds brill -will try that ! I think seriously that lentils are really overlooked in cooking -far nicer than rice IMO-and really versatile (plus they give you a good flush out which is very beneficial lol) x
well i made it at 7a.m this morning,should i make rice with it,i have naan bread?
Question Author
O I would just have a naan with it -think the rice and lentils would bloat you-well it would me.

Enjoy -if you havent already !!
i havent got a slow cooker, could this be just as good cooked in a pressure cooker?
That sounds gorgeous, Dris. Dhansak is one of my all time favourite curries. I always have King Prawn and get them to spice it up to Vindaloo.
