My favourite as to be a hot,sweet and sour dansak it never fails me and i am sure with a bit of trial and error it could taste even better.
half a cup of lentils are boiled with a teaspoon each of turmeric,salt and paprika,once the lentils are cooked top with a fried tarka made from 1 tsp chopped garlic and 1 tsp of cumin seed,stir it in and leave to cool.
i prepare the final dish as you would any other,fry gg paste add a tsp of chopped red and green chilli, a pinch of chilli flakes and 1/2 a tsp of kashmiri chilli powder and a pinch of fenugreek leaf,add mixed powder diluted tomato puree and a desert spoon of lemon juice,once you have got your first ladle of base cooking put in the desired amount of your pre cooked lentils reduce for a few minuets then add however much more base you will need along with a few chunks of pineapple with a tblsp of the juice,now add sugar to taste,add a chefs spoon of pre cooked onions, pre cooked green pepper and chicken tikka,towards the end of cooking had a few slices of tomato cooked long enough to warm through then stir in 1/2 a tsp of paprika and a 1/4 tsp of garam masalla cook for 2 minutes longer,garnish with coriander herb.
I am useless at writing recipes but you can not seem to go wrong with this one,if i have guests coming around i always have this on the ready in case of a disaster.
