Dal Makhani: The British Dal Festival Recipe Ideas
Dal Makhani: The British Dal Festival Recipe Ideas.
The British Dal Festival kicks off on the 10th February 2019 in celebration of the first ever United Nations World Pulse day. To honour the humble pulse, I thought you might like some dal recipes. Starting with this Sultani Dal recipe:
Sultani Dal - A classic Indian dish, dal goes as well with hot chapatis as it does with plain boiled rice.
Dal Makhani- is a rich Punjabi dal of urad gram (also known as whole urad beans or black lentils) and rajma (red kidney beans), rather than the split lentils or peas used for most dals. The name literally means “buttery dal”.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100g) Urad Gram (Whole Urad Beans / Black Lentils)
- 2 tbsp (25g) Rajma (Whole Red Kidney Beans)
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
- 2 in Ginger, chopped
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 6 cloves Garlic, chopped
- 1 large Onion, chopped
- 2 Green Chillies, split
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 tsp Garam Masala powder
What To Do:
- Pick, wash and soak the pulses (urad gram and rajma) overnight in three cups of water. Drain.
- Place the pulses in a large pan with three cups of water with salt and half the red chilli powder. Cover and bring to the boil, allow to boil vigorously for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer for a further 30 minutes or until tender. (If using a pressure cooker, bring to full pressure and cook for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave to cool and return to normal pressure.)
- Heat the butter and oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds. When they begin to change colour, add the ginger, garlic and onion and sauté until golden.

Mollie and I ran 2 miles to the park and back. We took this photo when we got home and yep, she still looks fresh and I was out of breath!! All good though.
My knees hurt a little on the way home with this extra weight I'm carrying but OK.
My Fitbit died on me as the battery does not last long before needing charging. Grr typical as I wanted to do 10,000 steps today too.
Any fun plans for today? Have a great day and don't let it be blue. New Fitness Plans: Just Do It.

My Top Ten Tips To Lose Weight In Your 40s
When you reach your forties unless you are very lucky, you can easily start to gain weight. My weight fluctuates like a yo-yo since reaching 40. Then when you get to your late 40's you might have 2 decisions to make like I have:
Firstly, buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes (nice idea) that fit properly and comfortably. Or secondly, try and lose weight. (Perhaps also buy some new clothes!). Whichever decision you make, it needs to be the right one for you. As it is how you feel but if you do want to lose a few pounds or just feel that bit healthier or simply make your favourite jeans fit comfortably again. Read on.
