    Simple Dal,Nothing fancy- just basic dal.,GREAT! Flavorful, healthy and Vegan. I made this with a mix of red lentils and brown lentils. used ghee and the optional black onion seeds. I doubled all of the spices and am glad I did. I cooked it almost twice the amount of time for a thicker dal. I think next time I would only use 2-3 cups of water. Freddy Cat says thanks for the yummy food! Made for the ZWT4.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Pick Through the Lentils, and Rinse Until Water Runs Clear; Drain.

    2
    Done

    It Doesn't Matter What Kind of Lentils You Use but Brown Lentils or French Lentils Are Better Used Elsewhere. Things Like Channa Dal Are not the Type of Lentils I Would Use (i Don't Think of Them as Lentils)(channa Dal Needs to Be Soaked Overnight).

    3
    Done

    Heat the Oil or Ghee in a Saucepan and Cook Onions Until They Are as Soft as You Like.

    4
    Done

    Stir in Remaining Ingredients Except the Last 3, Bring to a Boil, Reduce Heat, Cover and Simmer For 30 Minutes.

    5
    Done

    Check the Consistency and Water Level- If You Want It Thicker or the Dal Is not Done, Cook Longer, but Make Sure There Is Water in the Dal.

    6
    Done

    You Can Always Cook the Water Out, Although the Lentils Tend to Lose Shape, but Then Again, I Prefer That.

    7
    Done

    Stir in Garam Masala.

    8
    Done

    Serve in a Bowl, Garnished With Chopped Cilantro and Sliced Serrano Chillies If Desired.
