Ganga<p>There is a recipe from Madhya Pradesh (India) called Egg Banjo - what a lovely name. It is originally a runny fried egg sandwich and originated from the English military in WW1. More than likely you'd squirt egg yolk onto your shirt as you ate, and make banjo-playing movements to remove it as you'd hold the sandwich up near your ear. Banjo - get it? Of course, India adopted this English snack and India-fied it.</p><p>Lots of tarted-up versions exist. One is on burger buns with a spicy tomato sauce, green chutney, onions and tomatoes with omelette type eggs rather than fried.</p><p>Honestly, it is just as good without the buns, especially if you are GF. Make 2 small omelettes with spices, and layer the chutneys, tomato and onion on one, and top with the other. Eat with knife and fork.</p><p>The omelette is made with cumin, coriander leaves, ginger, chillies and seasoning mixed with the eggs. 😋 </p><p>I am going to cook them in butter.</p><p>Recipe from <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Tiffin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tiffin</span></a> by <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SonalVed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonalVed</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FromTheKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FromTheKitchen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WhatIAmCooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIAmCooking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WhatIAmEating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIAmEating</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IndianFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndianFood</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Vegetarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vegetarian</span></a></p>
Ganga<p>The dal I made last night ⬆️ was delicious. I am not sure the fermentation adds to the flavours but certainly adds to digestibility and healthiness things.</p><p>It made lots, despite saying that it serves 2. This book often has this problem ( <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Tiffin500Recipes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tiffin500Recipes</span></a> by <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SonalVed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonalVed</span></a> ). Not such a bad problem, as long as you have freezer space 😄 </p><p>I am putting the remainder in the slow cooker for some hours, as I'd like the urad to melt more into the sauce. That is urad's 🌟 super power 🌟 - creating that creamy beautiful base in dals.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FromTheKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FromTheKitchen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WhatIAmCooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIAmCooking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Vegetarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vegetarian</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IndianFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndianFood</span></a></p>
Ganga<p>Burhanpuri Dal, using whole urad dal, from <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Tiffin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tiffin</span></a> by <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SonalVed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonalVed</span></a>. (⬆️⬆️) A nice dark and earthy flavour, as you'd expect from whole unskinned urad. Not enough chilli, and the recipe has some odd spice amounts. But I corrected those 😊 😆 and it turned out well 💃 . Delicious! Bonus points for having a recipe with pressure cooker instructions, and for not using cream and butter. However it does have copious amounts of ghee (I cut it down a little).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IndianFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndianFood</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/dal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FromTheKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FromTheKitchen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WhatIAmCooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIAmCooking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WhatIAmEating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIAmEating</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/vegetarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vegetarian</span></a></p>
Ganga<p>Some time today I am making Burhanpuri Dal, using whole urad dal. The recipe is from <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Tiffin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tiffin</span></a> by <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SonalVed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonalVed</span></a>, and I'll make it in the Instant Pot. Dal has been soaking overnight. Presumably the recipe is from Burhanpur in Madhya Pradesh.</p><p>Surprisingly I can't find a similar recipe online to share with you (there is one on FB if you care to search). Youtube has some videos but using different dals. I suspect whole urad is the traditional one tho (fill me in if you know).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FromTheKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FromTheKitchen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WhatIAmCooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIAmCooking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IndianFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndianFood</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Vegetarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vegetarian</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MadhyaPradesh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MadhyaPradesh</span></a></p>
