Grandma's DHAL Recipe

Trinbagonian Dhal is basically a split pea soup, spiced with hot peppers and roasted ground geera (cumin). “Dal” in India is a term used for legumes (lentils, peas, beans)-Wiki
In Trinidad and Tobago, our Indian ancestors made dhal with split peas because it was easily accessible and cheap. This recipe is VEGAN/VEGETARIAN & GLUTEN-FREE. It can be poured over rice, eaten as a soup or dipped with bread, roti or dumplings.
My favorite way to enjoy dhal is to drink it straight out of an enamel cup! My Ajee (paternal grandmother) used to make dhal dumpling soup & dhal and roti whenever she had leftovers. She would break the roti (usually sada roti) into small bite-sized pieces and add it to warm dhal, and let it sit and get soggy- this was my dad’s favorite dish when his mom was alive.
Today, my grandma- MA (maternal grandmother), will show us her way of making dhal. My sister and I think Ma makes the BEST DHAL we’ve ever tasted! This is so serious, that my sister begged Ma to always have dhal in her freezer so that when she leaves this world, we’ll still have her dhal to enjoy. I decided to document her recipe so that my sister, my little nephew and I could make dhal just like her!
Enjoy!
With love and a dash of geera,
Reshmi & Ma
INGREDIENTS:
-1 cup of Dhal (Split Peas), soaked in water for 30 minutes + 3 1/2 -5 cups of boiling water (Add more as needed)
-4 Pimentos or Seasoning Peppers (for seasoning & chunkaying)
-1 small Onion
-10 cloves of Garlic (for seasoning & chunkaying)
-Hot Pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon Turmeric (Trini Sorfran/Saffron) Some might be stronger/weaker in color and taste. Use accordingly.
For gluten allergies- check ingredients to make sure no anti caking agents are used.
-Salt (to your preference)
-1 teaspoon of Geera/Cumin Seeds
-1 heaping teaspoon of Roasted ground Geera (cumin)
Utensils used- Kalchul (Metal Ladle), Dhal Ghutney (Wooden Swizzle Stick)

Looks amazing! I'd like to encourage you to continue documenting the cooking ways of the previous generations. Many of the newer generation (of Trini roots) seem to focus more on pizza, pasta etc. By the time they show interest in the meals of the generations before them, their beloved 'Ma' may unfortunately not be here to demonstrate. Videos such as this will help to bridge that gap and I strongly encourage you to continue in your quest to document these priceless recipe's. Keep the videos coming, especially of the previous generation doing their thing in the kitchen! ✌️

So true! My grandmother taught me to make bake, collaloo and roti when I was 10 years old but sadly I don't remember exactly how she did it, and now even my great aunts are too old to show me 😔 I do have her recipe for black cake so at least that's one thing!

@sunshinelady281 3 жыл бұрын

I do appreciate all the lovely dishes and the cooking information that is provided and protecting the legacy of parents and grandparents but I do think it is a bit offensive to focus on just Italian food because my mother is Caucasian Trinidadian and my father is Italian so I know the best of both worlds

@fawiek 3 жыл бұрын

@@sunshinelady281 the focus is not on Italian foods at all (one of my favs BTW) but rather to demonstrate the lack of options available today, from the Trini roots stemming from many generations ago.

I will never forget the first time I had chunkay dhal. My dad made it for me. I was in the kitchen with him so I was curious as to why he was balancing the spoon on the open fire. He told me to take a spoon and taste the split peas. I did. When he finished adding the general seeds, gaic and hot pepper in the sizzling hot oil into the peas. He said now taste the dhal. 🤣 If you dont chunkay the dhal you eating split peas. 🤣 Most memorable moment of my dad and I and the kitchen.

I've been trying to replicate the taste of my mother's dhal since she passed away in 2011, but I can't quite get it right yet. I'm so sorry I didn't pay more attention to her recipes. This one looks similar to her's, so I'm going to try it. Keep on gathering and documenting your Ma's recipes, don't make my mistake. UPDATE! - I used this recipe today to make lunch, and I'm happy to report, it came the closest in taste to my mom's dhal. I think the only ingredient missing now to make it exactly like her's, is the love she used to prepare it with 😥.
