Greetings,

Can anybody advise on how to make a simple Dal dish?

Many thanks in advance.

Cook any daal with three to five times as much water in a pressure cooker,
adding salt and a pinch of turmeric. Then, make a masala of roasted cumin,
mustard seed, peppercorn and coriander. (Coconut, cinnamon, clove and even
nutmeg could be added to this masala depending on the region.) After roasting
this blend until fragrant, grind and keep it aside while you prepare the tarka
of sauted onion, ginger, garlic and chile's. To this, tomatoes + tamarind can
be added. Combine the daal, masala and tarka, adding water or salt as needed.
Simmer for five to ten minutes and serve with a sprinkle of lime juice and
fresh coriander.
