SPINACH AND TOMATO DAL (INDIAN LENTIL SOUP)

Steps:
- Bring lentils and 4 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer 10 minutes. Skim off any scum that forms and continue to simmer until the lentils are tender, about 1 hour.
- Heat the oil in a separate saucepan. Cook mustard seeds and cumin seeds in hot oil until they start to splatter, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and turmeric to the seeds; cook and stir until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir spinach, tomato, and cayenne pepper into the onion mixture; cook until the spinach wilts and the tomato is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir the cooked lentils and cilantro into the spinach mixture; bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Adjust salt and water to taste and texture preferences.

TOMATO DAHL DAL (OR MANGO, OR CUCUMBER, OR LEMON, OR SPINACH)
This recipe is amazingly versatile. My friend Sirisha from South India gave it to me. Read the end for how to change it for the different versions. Some of the ingredients are more easily available in Indian grocery stores (particularly the dal and curry leaves). You can sub half a jalepeno for the chile... leave the seeds or take them out as your spicy preference dictates. I always take the seeds out of the Thai chiles, and it comes out "moderately spicy."

Steps:
- Wash dahl 2x. Soak half an hour or so if you want it softer. Add 3 c water.
- Cook dahl 20-25 minutes over medium heat.
- Add diced tomatoes, green chiles, and turmeric. Cook 20 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat oil (medium heat). Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, red chiles, and asafoetida. Mustard seeds will "pop" like popcorn. (I advise keeping a lid on it to avoid seeds all over your stove.).
- Add seed mixture to dahl. Add salt to taste and curry leaves. Cook for 2-3 more minutes. Serve with rice. Enjoy!
- To make mango dal, cut up 2 green mangoes. (again, available in Indian grocery stores). Use in place of tomatoes. This makes a sweet dal.
- To make cucumber dal, peel and cut up 2 cucumbers or Indian cucumbers (dosaki). Use in place of tomatoes.
- To make lemon dal, do not add a vegetable and add the juice of 2 lemons with salt and curry leaves.
- To make spinach dal, add 2 c fresh spinach (or frozen spinach) about 10 minutes before cooking is over.
- You may have to add a little water with the different types of veggies.

LENTIL, CABBAGE AND TOMATO DAL
This is a recipe from Rose Elliot's 'The Vegetarian Kitchen' in the Guardian Weekend supplement. If you can't find toovar dal (check the Indian section of your supermarket) you can substitute yellow split peas, which works just fine and it says you could also use red lentils instead. I used 1 smallish head of savoy cabbage, which once I had trimmed it and shredded it worked out just above the correct weight.

Steps:
- Rinse the toovar dal well with plenty of hot water.
- Place water, tumeric and dal into a pan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 45 minutes. It should become very soft. (If you're using split peas or red lentils, this time might need adjusting.).
- Add the tomatoes and curry leaves to the pan and set aside.
- In another pan heat the olive oil. Add the mustard seeds and cook for a few seconds before adding the fenugreek and the curry powder.
- Now add the cabbage and onion. Cover and cook on a low heat for approximately 5 minutes.
- Now combine the contents of both pans and simmer for 20 more minutes, or until all vegetables are tender, over a low heat.
- Stir in lemon juice and season to taste.
- Serve topped with fresh corriander, either on it's own, over rice or with some roti. If you serve it with rice it'll be enough for four to five people.
