Title: Masoor Ki Dal (Red Lentil Dal)
Categories: Indian, Pakistani
Yield: 4 Servings
1 c Masoor dal
- (red split lentils);
- rinsed in several
- changes of water
1 ts Kashmiri red chili powder
1/2 ts Turmeric powder
1 ts Salt; or to taste
4 tb Vegetable oil
1 sm Yellow onion; halved;
- thinly sliced
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
A fool-proof, starter masoor dal (split red lentils) recipe with a
simple tadka of fried onions.
Tadka (optional):
Once the dal is ready, heat the vegetable oil in a small frying pan.
Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the sliced onion, and fry on
medium heat until it is an even golden brown, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, and pour the fried onion with the oil over the dal.
Place in a serving bowl, and serve alongside white rice.
Add the lentils, and 2 cups of water to a heavy-bottomed pot. Cover
with a tight-fitting lid, and bring to a quick boil over medium-high
heat.
Remove lid, lower to a simmer, and stir in Kashmiri red chili powder,
turmeric powder, and salt. Let the dal simmer, uncovered, over
medium-low to medium heat until it has absorbed the water, about 5 to
7 minutes. In the meantime, heat 2 additional cups of water in a
kettle.
Use a wooden spoon to push the dal against the pot to give it a creamy
consistency.
Pour the hot cups of water into the pot, and stir well. Let the dal
simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the
consistency you want. Check for salt, and adjust as needed.
