Lemon lentils (Nimbu masoor dal) from Ismail Merchant's Passionate Meals: The New Indian Cuisine for Fearless Cooks and Adventurous Eaters by Ismail Merchant

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Broccoli in garlic-lemon butter (Nimbu aur lasson-walli broccoli); Saffron pilaf (Zafrani pullao); Red pepper-caraway roast chicken (Shazeera-walla murgh mussallam); Royal kofta (meatballs) (Shahi kofta) ; Mustard shrimp (Sarson-walla jhingha); Puris

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Favorite recipe for decades from the acclaimed filmmaker & cook, full of flavor. I reduce the oil & remember to remove the lemon shell & cinnamon sticks before storing. Original version makes a large amount, but we enjoy any leftovers. Appears online in half quantity here: http://touch.latimes.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-51338250/
