Red Lentil Dal - 2

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/4 cups	296ml	Red lentils
3 cups	711ml	Water
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
2 tablespoons	30ml	Ghee
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Black mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Turmeric
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Cayenne
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Minced gingerroot
1		Lemon slice for garnish

Recipe Instructions

Rinse the lentils in a sieve under cold running water. Put the lentils in a medium saucepan along with the water and salt. Cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat for about 25 minutes, or until the lentils are almost completely smooth. Heat the ghee in a separate small skillet over medium heat and add the mustard seeds. After the seeds have stopped popping and spattering add all the spices and stir.

Cook 1 minute. Very carefully add this mixture to the dal. Stir, then simmer the dal 2 minutes more. (May be prepared to this point up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and chill. Reheat over low heat.) Scrape the dal into a warm serving dish and garnish with lemon slices.
