From: [log in to unmask] mock tomato cream sauce DF SF EF NF WF I was trying to make an Indian tomato chutney and the result reminded me of a tomato cream sauce that would be good with pasta. Since we really miss cream sauces after being dairy-free and soy free, I was real excited and thought I would share it with you. 1/2 cup urad dal (found in Indian stores, tiny pale yellow lentil beans, main ingredient in Pappadini pasta) 1 onion 2 tomatoes pasta sauce seasonings 2-3 tbs oil Rinse the urad dal in water and fry in oil until very light brown. Remove from pan and cool. Grind in a blender into a powder (it does not work in my KitchenAid food processor but the blender does the trick). Sauté chopped onions and cool. Add to blender with dal powder and blend to a paste. Cook tomatoes with seasonings. Cool and add to blender and blend to make a creamy sauce. You may need to add some water or other liquid to get the right consistency for the sauce. PS. I remember that someone had posted a Better Than Cheese Whiz recipe here that used the red lentils. Maybe the red lentils will work in place of the urad dal. Devyani ______________________
