豆子是很多素食者的主要食物,我也经常换着花样做,今年在院子里种了好些葫芦巴叶,葫芦巴这东西对身体很好,可以经常吃。
葫芦巴【别名】苦豆、香草、葫芦巴、芦巴、胡巴、季豆、小木夏、香豆子、芸香草、苦草、苦朵菜、香苜蓿。葫芦巴有平衡胆固醇,降低血糖,帮助控制和预防糖尿病,预防皮肤病的功能。也经常用来治疗预防妇女疾病。
Legume is the main source of protein for vegetarian, as I eat more of vegetarian food, I use a lot of it in my cooking.I like it in Dal with some fresh vegetables, since I have some fenugreek planted in the garden this year, I made this Methi Dal (Fenugreek Leaves in lentil soup) with the fresh harvest this afternoon!
材料:
1/2 杯 黄豌豆/绿豆瓣
1/3 只洋葱 (切块)
1/3 只番茄 (切块)
1/2 根胡萝卜/菜花
2 只小青椒
1/4 茶匙罗望子膏
盐适量
1/2 小勺 黄姜粉 (Turmeric Powder)
红油(Tadka)材料:
4-5 颗 葫芦巴
1-2 只 辣椒干 (Optional)
4-5 片 咖喱叶
1/4 小勺 孜然
1/4 小勺 芥末籽
1/2 小勺 辣椒粉
1 -2 大勺 素油
1/2 cup Yellow lentil or Split Moong bean
1/3 Bombay Onion (Cubed)
1/3 Tomato (Cubed)
1/2 Carrot/Cauliflower
2 Green Chillies
1/4 tsp Tamarind paste
Seasoning:
Salt to Taste
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
For Tempering:
4-5 Fenugreek seeds
1-2 dried Chilli (Optional)
4-5 Curry Leaves
1/4 tsp Cummin Seeds
1/4 tsp Mustard Seeds
1/2 tsp Chilli powder
1-2 tbsp Vegetable
把豆子洗干净,加1大杯水,加入切块的洋葱,番茄,划开的辣椒,蔬菜,罗望子汁,黄姜粉,盐,高压10分钟后,不要放气,让高压锅自然出气就好了.
放气的时候做红油(Tadka),在一口小锅里或者一个小瓷碗里放入葫芦巴,咖喱叶,孜然和芥末籽。加入1-2大匙素油,如果用小锅就炉子上加热,如果用瓷碗就在微波炉里加热1分钟30秒,然后拿出来,加入辣椒粉,再微波30-45秒。就成了红油。
葫芦巴叶子摘好,清洗干净。打开刚刚煮好的豆子,搅拌均匀,再煮滚,加入刚刚的红油,试试味道,不够咸可以加点盐。最后加入葫芦巴叶,断生就可以吃了。
Wash the lentil, add 1 cup of water with the cubed onion, tomato, slice chilli, vegetable, tamarind paste, turmeric powder and salt, pressure cook the lentil for 10 minutes, release gas naturally.While the pressure cooker working on releasing gas, prepare tempering (Tadka).
In a small sauce pan, or a microwavable bowl, add fenugreek seeds, curry leaves, cummin seeds and mustard seeds with 1-2 tbsp of vegetable oil, microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, add chilli powder, and microwave for another 30-45 seconds.
If the tempering is make on stove, heat up accordingly, and do the same thing as you would with microwave.
Pluck, clean fenugreek leaves, open the pressure cooker, and continue heating up the dal without lid, when it start boiling, add fenugreek leaves, cook for about 1-2 minutes and pour the tempering over the soup.
Taste it, adjust salt if needed.
Serve with bread or rice.
It's bitter, right?
ReplyDeleteThe fresh leaves are normally less bitter than the dried version.
ReplyDeleteBut the dried version smell much better than the fresh.
