Ingredients
- 1/2 cup red split lentils
- 3 cups water
- 1 level teaspoon salt
- 1 small onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 4 tablespoon melted vegetable ghee
- pinch turmeric.
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 small tomato
- 2 teaspoon finely chopped green coriander
Method
- Pick over the lentils for any stones and wash them in several changes of water.
- Put into a saucepan with the three cups of water, add the salt, and bring to the boil.
- Turn down the heat and simmer uncovered, skimming off the froth that collects at the top for the first 20 minutes or so during cooking.
- After this stage, the pan should be partly covered.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for a total of one hour, at the end of which time you should have a pale yellow, soup-like consistency.
- While the dal is cooking, fry the onion and garlic in the ghee until the onions are pale brown.
- Add the turmeric and garam masala to the onions and cook for two or three seconds.
- Stir the onion mixture into the cooked lentils.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with chopped tomato and green coriander.
- Paneer
- All these recipes call for paneer, and you’ll probably have to make some before starting any of them.
