1 1/4 cups 296mlRed lentils
3 cups 711mlWater
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSalt
2 tablespoons 30mlGhee
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlBlack mustard seeds

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.
