Directions
Dal,Serve this with rice, as part of your authentic Indian meal.,Brilliant recipe. Turned out very tasty! It’s not like the dal I ate in Nepal but it actually tastes a lot better. Thanks!,I don’t know any Indian housewives, so I can’t speak to this recipe’s authenticity as well as Charishma, but I made this recipe more or less as written (omitted the onion and chili, tripled the garlic) and ended up with a dal identical to the garlicky, soupy, buttery, smooth and somewhat bland sort commonly served in small cups as a condiment in Indian restaurants here in New York. I don’t think this recipe was intended to be a curry, and it would definitely make a very bad curry if it were–this is in no sense a meal–but as a condiment, it is delicious. Dip some naan or paratha in it, spoon it over your rice, or whatever. I had mine this afternoon for a snack with some pita. Only one note: the recipe says to sauté the butter, cumin, onion, and garlic for a full 20 minutes. If you are using onion, you should add it to the pan several minutes before the cumin and garlic, as they will likely burn before the onions are golden if added all at once. I also prefer mincing the garlic and onion.
