A traditional Nepali dal . Though the recipe lists lentils, I recommend you use yellow lentils, or Moong Dal. makes 9 1/2 cup servings Ingredients:
4 cups water |
1 cup lentils |
2 tbsp butter |
1/2 tsp salt |
1/4 onion, chopped |
1 tomato |
Directions:
1. Simmer lentils, water, salt, 1 TBSP butter, and 1/4 tsp. turmeric for 40 to 60 minutes. In a small pan, fry onion, in 1 TBSP butter until brown. Add 2 cloves, 1/2 tsp. cumin seeds and 2 cardamon pods and fry for a few second. Add tomato if desired (you can add two tomatoes worth - I only had one on me). Stir the spice mixture into the cooked lentils - cover to allow the seasonings to flavor the lentils. Stir and serve with rice or chapati.
