Here is my take on lentil Indian curry, or as they know it ‘Tarka Daal’. It’s creamy and delicious and great with some naan bread and rice as a main dish or on the side of a curry. It also lasts in the fridge for 5 days and is great for freezing too. There is also no need for soaking lentils in this recipe, you can literally just boil them! You can also make it completely vegan by using vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. I don’t think I could love Indian anymore than I do and this is one of my favourites!

You will need:

  • 2 cups, red lentils, rinsed until the water runs clear

  • 2 tbsp ghee or butter

  • 2 tsp turmeric

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 2 tsp garam masala

  • 1 tsp ground coriander

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1 can unsweetened coconut milk

  • 1 quart chicken stock or vegetable stock

  • 2 green chillies, sliced

  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated

  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

  • handful fresh cilantro (coriander) leaves, chopped

In a pot, place in the lentils and cover with enough chicken stock to cover them and go slightly over. Now add in about 1 cup of water too and bring them to a boil. Stir every so often so they don't stick to the bottom. In a large Dutch oven, sauté the garlic, chilies, ginger, onion and all the spices until they are toasted and the onions are soft and translucent. Once the water and chicken stock has all gone from the lentil pot and the lentils are soft and creamy add in the onions, ginger, garlic, chilies and spices mix. Pour in the coconut milk. Bring to a boil for 10-15 minutes and then simmer on low for 1-2 hours, covered. Stirring often to make sure nothing sticks. Cook until the lentils are soft and creamy. Add a little chicken stock if it gets too thick and keep cooking. Add salt and pepper to taste. Before serving, add in the fresh cilantro (coriander) and sliced chilies on top. You can also add a dollop of yogurt. Serve with warm naan and rice and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

So it makes sense that Jaeger-LeCoultre would iterate on the Reverso quite a bit. There have been attempts to take it back in a slightly more sporty direction, such as with the link Reverso Squadra of the aughts. There has been the link Reverso Tribute to link 1931, which channeled the immense charm of the original Reverso's design. With Reverso One, now available with a diamond-set case and a red-wine colored dial, we have a quite dressy and slender take on the Reverso for women.

I may have slow-rolled link one link of the coolest parts of the new Hermétique Tourer – and one of the most subtle vintage nods of the year. You probably noticed in the link photos, but instead of crown guards (or even no crown guards), the crown integrates into the case itself. But it's not just a clever design out of nowhere. The history goes back a lot further.

As it link turns out, Leica only produces about 500 units per year of the ZM 1 and ZM 2 combined, and 30% of that production is sold to non-Leica customers. This means folks link who have not owned one of their cameras. This I find to be remarkable, and it link also means that this LE represents about 10% of the annual production of the ZM 1 and 2 lineup. Talk about preaching to the choir.

The new bezel also brings the Daytona more in line with a vintage 6263 (Rolex link even says that the black bezel "is reminiscent of the 1965 model that was fitted with link a black link Plexiglas bezel insert"), and I just think it looks better.
