Ok now I’m going to show you how I make Dhal and Seafood Curry
I’m just chopping a little scotch bonnet pepper here because i’m gonna chunk it
so it’s just half-half a scotch bonnet that i’m gonna do we’re gonna start with the dal so let’s come to the pot so in here let’s get some oil and get this part nice and hot what I did with a split peas
i used a bag of yellow split peas right and then in my pressure cooker
with just enough water to cover the split peas i put a teaspoon of turmeric
about you know two or three pinches of salt and a little bit of garlic and i pressurize these split peas for a
good 20 minutes so that they’re nice and cooked and soft
okay the thing about split peas is you have to keep an eye on them because they
stick to the bottom of the pot and then you get split peas bun bun and that just
doesn’t do it all right so already i’ve got this beautiful
yellow color from the turmeric and you know my split peas are cooked what
i’m going to do at this point is add all kinds of
different elements flavor elements texture elements
maybe things that you wouldn’t ordinarily see in a dal
when your oil is nice and hot i’m gonna add my scotch bonnet pepper
when i was living in jamaica a few years ago i had a great friend called sean and
he was a fantastic cook he actually is the one who showed me how to make
this dal i’m going to put into this a spoonful of garam masala the spices cook a little bit
i’m also going to put in a little bit of pulge wrap i’m going to just leave this and let it
cook for a little while so let’s go and chop up some veggies for
this dough so my dal is gonna have onions in it get these guys chopped up a little bit
i try not to be sort of too obsessed a little bit of garlic and what we do here is we burn the
garlic and then we put it on top the doll at the end but i’m not going to do and some tomato let’s add our onions and garlic at this point you want your spices to cook a little
you’re adding the onions them cook i’m also going to add a little side and
at the end i’ll throw in a little shadow
