Dal

Ingredients

For 8 people

  • 2 cup(s) dried lentils, rinsed and picked over
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup(s) fresh ginger, 2-inch piece, peeled and minced, or as much as it gives you
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon(s) curry powder (hot or mild, your preference)
  • 2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon(s) 2 dried red chilies (or hot red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper, to taste)
  • 4 tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped (optional)
  • 1 dash(es) salt, to taste
  • 1 dash(es) pepper, to tatse

Directions

Add the first 8 ingredients to a large pot, along with water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; adjust heat so the mixture simmers steadily but not violently. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft, about 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper; serve or cover and refrigerate for up to several days before reheating.
