Dal w/radish & Chapati bread
January 23, 2014
Made these on a whim tonight. Both came out very well. The radishes cooked along with the dal, and were quite soft by the end. Very weird. I'm pretty sure I've never had cooked radishes before. It was a Mark Bittman recipe ("Simplest Dal," p.433, I think, in "How to Cook Everything"), and he would have preferred daikon radish, but said any kind would work, so I took him at his word. He also said that the dal would go well with chapati bread, so I tried that, too, and it turned out very well. It's a fried, unleavened bread, and I cooked it on one of the new cast iron griddles that I've been "collecting." The beans, well, we had them, and I thought it could use a green vegetable.
