Directions:
- Pick through the lentils, and rinse until water runs clear; drain.
- 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).
- Heat the oil or ghee in a saucepan and cook onions until they are as soft as you like.
- Stir in remaining ingredients except the last 3, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- 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.
- You can always cook the water out, although the lentils tend to lose shape, but then again, I prefer that.
- Stir in garam masala.
- Serve in a bowl, garnished with chopped cilantro and sliced serrano chillies if desired.
