Curried Pumpkin Dahl

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 6 servings

Pumpkin and black-eyed peas are widely used in South Indian cooking. We've combined them here in a spicy dhal stew. For a traditional Indian meal, serve the dhal warm or at room temperature over basmati rice. Accompany with chapati or papadam (Indian flat breads).

Ingredients:
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
1/4 cup (25g) grated coconut
3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 serrano or Thai chile peppers, seeded and diced
1 Tbsp (7g) fresh ginger root, minced
2 tsp (10mL) garam masala
1 tsp (2g) ground cumin
1/2 tsp (1g) cinnamon
1 tsp (6g) salt (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)
1/4 tsp (1g) turmeric
1/4 tsp (0.5g) ground coriander
2 cups (240mL) light chicken or vegetable stock or water*
1 Tbsp (15mL) canola oil
2 cups (400g) tomatoes, diced
4 cups (230g) fresh pumpkin (1 small pie pumpkin), peeled and diced
2 cups (360g) cooked black-eyed peas
2 cups (70g) kale or spinach, chopped
3 Tbsp (5g) mint, minced

Directions:
Combine onion, coconut, garlic, chile peppers, ginger root, garam masala, cumin, cinnamon, salt, turmeric, coriander and 3 Tbsp (45mL) stock in a blender. Puree mixture to a paste, scraping down the sides of the blender beaker as necessary.

Heat oil in a large saucepan, then add the spice paste and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add remaining stock, tomatoes and pumpkin. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until squash is just tender, about 20 minutes.

Mix in black-eyed peas and kale. Continue to cook, stirring often, until kale is tender, about 10 more minutes. Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasonings; stir in the mint just before serving.

* Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn. If you are allergic to soy, be sure the broth you choose is soy-free, as broths frequently contain hydrolized vegetable protein from soy.

Jeera Tiger Prawns

Serves 4

Ingredients:
8 Headless Bengal Tiger Prawns, each weighing over 100 g (4 oz) before peeling Juice of 4 limes 2 tbsp Butter Ghee 1 tbsp Butter 3 tsp White Cumin Seeds 1 tsp Turmeric 1 tsp Curry Paste 4 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped 3-4 Spring Onions, bulbs and leaves, finely chopped.

Instructions:
When the prawns are fully thawed (allow 24 hours in a covered bowl in the fridge) remove all the shell including legs and tail. Cut a slit down the backbone and pull out the vein. Wash the prawns, pat them dry then massage them with the lime juice.

Heat the ghee and butter.

Stir fry the seeds for 20 seconds.

Add the turmeric and paste and after another 20 seconds, add the garlic and the onions. Stir fry the mixture for 2-3 more minutes. Then add the prawns.

Adjusting the heat, up or down throughout, stir fry for about 12 minutes, aiming to maintain a gentle sizzle, but not to burn the spices. You'll doubtless need to add tiny quantities of water, just to prevent sticking during this.

During the cooking, in fact right away, the prawns go from their dull grey colour to flamingo pink. This is on the surface and it will take more time to cook right through. When it is, the prawn should be an even bright white in colour right to its centre. Cut one in half to check. Garnish and serve with lime wedges and Indian bread.
