My Homecooked Dhall Curry

DHALL FOR ONCE...  Bought a packet of Australian Dhall at Jaya Grocer, I wonder whether it is the same with our local dhall?  Never cook this before and there is always a first time in everything.  So I bought a packet and cooked half of it, putting in potatoes, tomatoes, carrots and diced breast meat.

After trying out this dish, I feel it is best to soak the dhall longer and then blend it before before cooking.  As I did not blend it, the dhall were still noticeable, I prefer them to be mashed up, thick gravy like those I eat in roti canai shops. LOL... Well, I guess I will have to do that the second time round.  

I am not a spicy person but I ended up putting in too much curry powder and dry chillies... I quickly scooped up the dried chillies and googled how to make it less spicy.  Mr. Google advised me to put in lime/lemon juice!  Good that I have a lemon in the fridge and I quickly added in some lemon juice to lessen the spicyness.... 
Ingredients at the start.... 
Half way through... 
Boiled for almost 45 minutes to an hour....
I forgot how long actually... hahahaa...
Stirring it on and off...
almost done.... 
Cooked.... 
Ate it with tortilla for lunch.... 
Can see the dhall?
Some prefer to eat it this way.... but I prefer it mashed....
For dinner, I had it with noodles.... 
My girl told me that I can wrap this up with Paratha 
and then bake it in the oven....
Comes out like a Giant Curry Puff, so she says...
Ok, I will try doing it the next round!

  3. Just soak overnight, don't blend - will turn mushy or if you must. just a little - can still see the dhall, whole...some of them. It looks good though, great with rice, I'm sure.

  7. There are many types of dhall because dhall is a term used in the Indian subcontinent for dried, split pulses that do not require soaking before cooking. Pulses include lentils, beans and peas. Your dhall curry looks good but a big pot. How long will you take to finish it?

  8. Looks good lah! I must cook dhall curry again. Very convenient food because it freezes very well.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
