Instructions

Butter dhal

Rinse the dhal. Boil the dhal in a pot for around 50 minutes or until cooked

through but not too soft. Set aside the dhal and create the aromatics to braise it in

further.

Heat oil in a pan and 250 g butter in the pan and cook the following ingredients:

onions, garlic, ginger, red chillies, curry leaves, cumin, coriander, 2 green chillies

(cut in half), turmeric and mustard seeds. Add water when needed. Cook this for

15 minutes to infuse the flavours. Add the cooked dhal and let this simmer

together for 30 minutes. Finish this with chopped coriander, the rest of the butter

and lemon juice. Set aside for service.

Idli

Mix 100 ml of luke warm water and sugar and sprinkle the yeast over it to

activate. It is ready when there are bubbles on the surface.

Mix together cake flour, 50 g desiccated coconut, salt and baking powder.

Add the activated yeast to the dry ingredients and mix through. Then add the

water slowly until you get a batter that is thick, but not pourable. Once the

consistency is reached, add the Eno’s to the mixture, cover and let it stand for at

least 15 minutes. In the idli steamer (traditional Indian steamer used specifically for this dish) add

batter and steam for around 10 mins.

Green chutney

Add all the ingredients in a blender and blend together. Add a drop of water if it

is blending too dry.

Tamarind drizzle

In a sauce pan add tamarind paste, ginger, cumin and 500 ml of water to a pot

and bring it to a boil. Turn it down to a simmer and add the sugar. Let this cook

to reduce and become slightly syrupy.

Yoghurt

Add the cumin to the yoghurt and flavour with salt and paper to taste. Set aside for service.

Crispy onion, to serve

Roll onion in salt, pepper and corn starch and fry until crispy, just before service.

To serve:

Dish up the dhal in a deep plate, top with the idli, place small dollops of green chutney around the idli, followed by the cumin yoghurt. Drizzle with tamarind drizzle and top the idli with the crispy onion.
