Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Curry-laced Tomato-lentil Broth


soups, curry, beans

1 cup red lentils
4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon minced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 salt to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
2 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander

From "Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking," by Julie Sahni (William Morrow). Wash lentils thoroughly. Place in a pot with 3 cups water and turmeric. Cook, partially covered, until very tender, about 30 minutes. Combine lentils and 1 cup water in a deep pot. Whisk to crush some of the lentils. Add the tomatoes, cumin, ground coriander, cayenne, onion, garlic and salt and bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook, partially covered, 10 minutes. Add lemon juice. Heat oil in a small skillet until hot. Add mustard seeds and cover so the seeds do not fly out of the pan. When they stop spattering, mix into soup. Stir in fresh coriander. Makes 6-8 servings.
