The Ancestral Lentil Stew — “Memory in the Flame”
This is the stew of root people, fire tenders, and lineage keepers. Made with red lentils and yellow split peas. Layered with adaptogenic spice, slow ghee bloom, and topped with coriander and toasted cumin seed oil. Best served over millet or basmati — eaten with fingers, breath, and reverence.
⟁ Core Components
- Base: Red lentils + yellow split peas
- Spices: Turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, garlic, hing (asafoetida)
- Adaptogens: Shilajit micro, tulsi, black seed oil, triphala drizzle
- Fat Medium: Ghee + toasted mustard + curry leaf (tempering)
- Grain Bed: Herbed millet or saffron basmati
✍️ Preparation Ritual
- Soak & Simmer: Rinse lentils + split peas. Simmer in filtered water with turmeric, ginger, garlic, and a pinch of salt until soft and golden.
- Tempering Magic: In ghee, toast mustard seed → cumin → crushed curry leaves → add hing → pour into stew with a whisper: “I honor the flame.”
- Layer & Uplift: Stir in tulsi powder, drop of shilajit, and freshly crushed coriander. Optional: a spoon of coconut cream for softness.
- Bed Ritual: Plate over herbed millet (cooked with bay, mint, fennel seed) or saffron-infused rice. Drizzle black seed oil + triphala infusion just before serving.
- Serve: Garnish with micro cilantro + lime wedge. Eat with touch. Let it hum through your gut and bones.
