Many many thanks for all of the lovely comments on The Roundup, Part 1!
I will get back and answer them individually now that Part 2 is done.
I am so happy that everyone is enjoying the fabulous Toor Dal Delights
created by so many talented cooks!
I thank you all for your patience and participation! I can’t remember when I had so much fun. Through this tiny legume I have met many new friends, and reconnected with some dear old friends as well.
It’s evident that toor dal is greatly loved! *Ninety-one* wonderful people contributed a total of *127* toor dal delights for JFI.
Each contributor and each dish is very special, and brings me much joy.
I wish I could sample every recipe; it is my honor to present them here.
Special thanks to Indira, creator of Jhiva, for the opportunity 🙂

As with Part 1, the links are set out by contributors’ first name. Photos aren’t clickable this time, but the name of each dish corresponds to the photo above it; clicking on the name will take you to the recipe on the corresponding blog.

If your first name (or the nickname you blog under) begins with N-Z and you don’t see your entry here, please send me a note at outofthegarden1911 at yahoo.com — as Revathi did, *sorry* Revathi!! You’re in there now! — so I can find it. \
Things got a wee bit busy there toward the deadline 🙂
Don’t forget to see the very special surprise guest contribution at the conclusion of this post — and now without further ado, feast your eyes on Part 2!

This is not the end of JFI: Toor Dal. A comprehensive reference page is in the works, and will be available after the New Year. I imagine I’ll have a few more words to say on the subject at that time (oh, I can hear the groans from here 😉 )
And now I pass the JFI Baton to lovely Deepz of Letz Cook, and for JFI January she is featuring Chocolate!! Look out, ’cause she has already made her first entry and it looks great!
Have lots of fun hosting, Deepz 🙂

Great roundup and a great turnout Linda! So I now have 125 recipes I could try with toor-daal? Wow! Before I entered the blogging world, I could hardly see beyond regular daal cooked at home and sambhar! Even my beloved dosas with toor daal!! Love it!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it Shweta dear — I loved your write-up about toor! I am learning alot from these as well! And now with Revathi’s you have 127! 😉
Bharathy said
Linda…I am speechless..
A_W_E_S_O_M_E in a word..no words to thankyou for the all the hardwork!..:)
By the way today I received fresh thoordal in pods(almost a KG) plucked from the farm of the western ghat valleys of Tamil nadu…which my husband had bought home…I am seeing them for the frst time…now that the great round up is all over…otherwise I would have sent you the picture..
Thanks again Linda
Bharathy, your kind words bring a smile to my face, thank you! It was lots of fun more than work, and got to meet so many lovely new folks such as yourself. Hope you enjoy all that fresh toor! 🙂
revathi said
Linda,
Lovely lovely roundup. It is definitely not an easy thing to do round up of 125 entries.
About the idly, I have never never tried to make idly with sona masoori rice. I guess idly might be slightly harder. I have to admit I have never had much success with idli rawa.. Good luck with your new grinder !!!
Thanks so much, Revathi, glad you liked it! I tried the new grinder yesterday — idlies coming up! 🙂
Pelicano said
Why, I do declare! There are enough lovely things on this table to last me ’til the honk of my hearse! Good thing I’m well-acquainted with the proper use of my flapping jaws, so I can tuck in directly… 😉
Tuck in directly — is Pelicano a British name??? 😉
Glad you enjoyed, Pel and thanks for taking part! 🙂
sandeepa said
Wow Linda, what a round up. Sorry had missed the Part I but went through that just now. Amazing work. You know what I am thinking. You must have had to put in a lot of effort to resize all those images.
Thanks Linda again for such a beautiful round up
Thanks a bunch, Sandeepa dear! Loved your chutney and I am still coveting the orange hot pad you placed that on! 🙂

Hema said
Dear Dear Linda,
I am so sorry I missed sending you a toor-dal entry. The round-up looks amazing and the special entry was indeed very special. Believe it or not, I made capsicum paruppu usili for the event and then got too lazy to go upstairs to fetch my camera. I recently started working full time and hardly get any extra time. I miss blogging and your friendly smiles. Hope to get back soon.
Hi Hema!! You made my day stopping by here 🙂 I bet capsicum paruppu usili was so yummy, you could take a pic next time you make it and I’ll add it to the recipe page I am making 🙂 I understand how it is when you’re working, and you with a little one besides. Drop me a note sometime and let me know how you are. I miss you too! 🙂
Daily Meals said
Great round up Linda! Thank you for hosting this event.
I’m so happy you enjoyed, thank you! 🙂
vivnidhi said
Hey Linda, I have taken ages to chime in but you have done a fabulous job of putting together so many recipes. You bet I had no idea that Toor dal can be made in so many ways. The list is really exhaustive. I am sure it will be used by many many people. Thank you for giveing the opportunity to participate. Since it was my first entry in any event, your encouragement helped a lot! Kudos to you!!!
Hi Nidhi, thanks so much for your kind words and participation! 🙂
I am so glad you decided to join us! It’s lots of fun as you can see… so keep coming along for the other events 🙂
