Greul Dahl

Lately, I've been trying out oats in cooking, not sowing.

This is a successful recipe that resulted from my experiments.

Greul Dahl is a dish that exceeds expectations both in taste and cost

Ingredients

One cup of oats

One cup of red lentils washed until water runs clear

One and a half chicken stock cubes

Amount of water needed: To be determined

2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

Chillies to taste, depending on the variety. I recommend using half a Scotch bonnet or one to two birdseye chillies

One heaped teaspoon of Garam Masala

Half tablespoon of pepper

Quarter of a teaspoon of salt

One teaspoon of fenugreek

Two cardamom pods

One teaspoon of curry powder

Half a tablespoon of cumin seeds (Crushed)

One and a half tablespoons of oil for frying onions

One large onion, chopped

Half a small handful of chopped coriander

Method

Toast the oats until they are lightly browned, being careful not to burn them, as this can happen quickly.

Remove from the pan and set aside.

Sauté onions in a little vegetable oil in a frying pan until they start to caramelize, then add the toasted oats. Also add the lentils and one cup of boiling water.

Add all other ingredients except for the garlic,Garam Masala and chopped coriander, which will be added when the lentils are nearly cooked.

Gently stir this mixture occasionally until the lentils are cooked. More water can be added during cooking if needed to achieve the desired consistency, as both the lentils and oats will absorb moisture quickly.

Add garlic, garam masala, and chopped coriander, then gently simmer for an additional two minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Enjoy it hot with rice, or use it as a dip with your favorite naan bread or chapatis.
